Hi, does anyone know how to get intellisense to work reliably when working in C/C++ projects? It seems to work for about 1 in 10 files. Visual Studio 2005 seems to be a lot better than 2008. Edit: Whilst not necessarily a solution, the work-around provided here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39474/how-to-get-intellisense-to-relia...

Sometimes when I'm editing page or control the .designer files stop being updated with the new controls I'm putting on the page. I'm not sure what's causing this to happen, but I'm wondering if there's any way of forcing Visual Studio to regenerate the .designer file.

This happened to me in Visual Studio 2008 pre and post 2008 sp1 on more than one computer and to someone else I know, so it can't be an isolated incident. Seemingly random, every so often I lose all syntax highlighting in my aspx page (the html) so that Visual Studio now looks like a really expensive version of notepad. Does anyone kno...
I have a solution with several projects. One of them is a setup project. If you expand the setup project in the Solution Explorer, you see a Detected Dependencies node. If you right click on it, you get a menu item called Refresh Dependencies. This refreshes any dependencies based on the files included in the setup. I am asking if I can...

We are using VS 2008 Team System with the automated test suite, and upon running tests the test host "randomly" locks up. I actually have to kill the VSTestHost process and re-run the tests to get something to happen, otherwise all tests sit in a "pending" state. Has anyone experience similar behavior and know of a fix? We have 3 develo...
