I've only been using VS 2008 Team Foundation for a few weeks. Over the last few days, I've noticed that sometimes one of my objects/controls on my page just disappears from intellisense. The project builds perfectly and the objects are still in the HTML, but I still can't find the object.
Any one else notice this?
Edit: For what it's worth, I know if I close VS and then open it up again, it comes back.
I have had this happen to me before. I figured out the problem but I don't remember what I did to fix it. I'll update this post if I remember. This probably didn't help you out but at least you're not alone :-)
I am also having a number of problems with VS 2008. Who would guess that I don't ever need to select multiple controls on a web form...
Anyway, a lot has been fixed in Service Pack 1, which is in Beta currently. Might be worth installing that. It has gone a little way to fixing absolute positioning. This isn't your problem, of course, but your fix might be in there as well.
That's a good idea. I'll think about downloading the beta. For what it's worth.
The Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 Framework Service Pack 1 has gone out of beta, maybe you can see if this bug still occurs?
I occasionally get this in Visual Studio 2005.
A method I use to get the controls back, is to switch the web page between code view and design view. I know it's not a fix but it's a little quicker than restarting Visual Studio.
