Intellisense is dead.

Hi there.

My VB.NET intellisense has chosen to quit on me and I can't seem to get it working again. I've checked my C# IDE and it works OK there.

I've tried checking the options as per this thread:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1801082&SiteID=1

but it has made no difference. To make double sure it wasn't a code issue, I created a new console app with no code other then the default. In the Main() method I type

Dim myUserNameVariable As String

If I then type 'myUser' and do Ctrl-Space, nothing happens. In the past it used to list the variable name with no problems.

What other reasons could there be for causing the intellisense to go a bit AWOL?

Thanks for your time.

Jas.

Jason Evans,

1. If you want to show the variable/methods list in Intellisense, please press Ctrl+J but not the Ctrl-Space.

2. Please provide your IDE information, such as Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite in order to help others repro your problem.

3. If is it convenient, you can reinstall the IDE or download the latest Service Pack update for the IDE.

4. Please make sure there is no mistakes in your code especially the "myUser" type.

Hi there.

Well it turns out that my keyboard mapping had been altered somehow! Complete Word had been assigned to something like Alt-J?!

Weird, but I've changed it to Ctrl-Space now.

Thanks for your suggestions.

If you use Messenger Plus (Windows Live Messenger Extension), check if Ctrl+Space is used to activate Messenger Lock.

Thanks a lot! My ctrl + space was not working, I′ve tried so many things, but this was the problem.

So please try in Option > Uncheck Hide Advance setting > General > keyboard... then search for "Edit.CompleteWord", it have a choice for you to reassign to "Alt + Right Cursor".. it's works for me now.
