Visual C++ 2008 Intellisense interprets CLR keywords on non-CLR project
I'm using Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Express Edition, and as far as Intellisense goes, it is interpreting CLR keywords (like event), instead of treating them as regular C++ identifiers. This is not a CLR project, so I'm at a bit of a loss - any ideas on what's going wrong / how to fix? I wasn't able to find anything that sounded promising in ...

It's not a big issue but it is annoying. I tried copying the entire XML for the struct snippet into my own, replacing only the shortcut name. Even so I had to hit Enter to ...

I have a solution which, when opened, crashes VS2008. This has happened before and I can work around the problem by deleting the SUO file.
