I have a problem in my Visual Studio editor, when I stop typing code, 2 seconds later the editor automatically jumps to a new line!
Please I need to disable this nasty habit:
This is problably some config you made; try to:
First end the process by Admin Task panel and them open again to check if that change you made its only persist in that session, if you open again and the problem persist I recommend you this:
To reset everything(your VSC config and the extensions), go to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Code and delete the whole folder after you uninstall the VS code, then install it again.
Also in %userprofile%\.vscode delete extensions folder in case you want to delete all extensions.
Here the info from file settings.
But probably if you want to start afresh, deleting the settings.json file from your user's profile will probably do the trick.
Here another post which is similar to your problem
I simulated your problem
"editor.formatOnSave": true is triggering the issue. The same happens if I set python.formatting.formatOnSave": true.
Title says it all. I open a test file. Type $package.. Nothing comes up. It's not a delay issue. It's not an empty package. How do I get intellisense to turn on?
Update: I've open a bug ticket with the VSCode-Golang team. As we find more information, I'll report back here. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/issues/2278
I'm not sure as to the whys and the wherefores, but the solution was to reinstall all of the Go tools in VSCode. Look for "Go: Install/Update Tools". I selected them all. Once they installed,restart VScode. At this point autocomplete turned on.
I didn't remember a VSCode update before things broke. If you run into this issue, try reinstalling the tools within VScode.
Be sure your opened go file, the one you try to edit, is part of the open project folder in vs-code, otherwise the auto-completion will not work properly. If you want to edit file from other module it's better to open the module folder in other instance of vs-code and edit it from there.
If the intellisense was already working and suddenly stops, you may try any of the below or both to resolve this.
Reset the VisualStudio settings as explained here. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-2008/ms247075(v=vs.90)
Delete the .VS folder from your project.
I have a workspace in VS2015 (same problem in 2013) that I'm trying to completely remove and start fresh with a copy from the server. To clarify, I want none of the files or changes that currently exist and I want to start completely fresh with the server copy of all files. I don't know how to correctly do this, however. I've deleted the workspace, the actual files that the workspace pointed to, and I've cleared the cache locations below, but VS still shows that the workspace exists and won't fix itself. In fact, it still shows the mapping even though I've triple-checked that it's deleted.
I'd like to avoid using devenv /reset since I'm pretty customized and I don't want to fix all of it, but I'll do it if it's unavoidable. How can I accomplish this?
Locations cleared/deleted:
%LocalAppData%\Temp\<all VS files/folders>
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\ComponentModelCache
On the window where you can get a specific change set from TFS, get the changeset with id "1". This is the situation just before the project was created - empty!
Right mouse om project node in solution explorer
Source Control > Get specific version
Version type "change set"
Input change number "1" (without quotes)
Click "Get"
I am opening files from a server ASP.net and the VB codebehind files, and my visual studio is not working correctly, Intellisense is dead and if i right click the "Go to defenition" option is disabled. These files are not part of a solution.
This is strange though because it was working properly yesterday. If I create a new project the intellisense works great, yet opening this single file it fails.
I have tried to re enable intellisense by resetting visual studio, I tried editing the text editor settings so that Auto list members and Parameter information are both checked. I even tried installing ReSharper and nothing worked. I have rebooted twice and even tried copying the file to a local drive to work on yet nothing.
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I could do to solve the problem? Im working on a rather complex problem and intellisense would make it a lot easier.
I managed to fix this problem which manifested itself after my ReSharper trial expired.
Steps to fix are:
Tools/Import and Export Settings
Reset all settings
Back up your config
Select your environment settings and finish
Intellisense started working again straight away.
For me simply hitting Ctrl+Alt+Space to re-enable Autocompletion fixed it.
I had the same problem. It only affected one of my solutions. Others seemed fine.
To correct it I deleted the solution's user options file (.suo).
When I opened the solution again, intellisense was working.
For the benefit of searchers, Nicks suggestion is good, but if you don't want to reset all your settings, you could follow the recommendation in this post.
It states - "go to "Tools | Options | Text Editor | C# | General and check the "Auto list members" and "Parameter information" checkboxes"
I should first note that upgrading my RAM from 4 to 16GB seems to have made this issue go away.
Here's the steps I go through:
If only one file/window appears to be affected, close/reopen that file. If that doesn't work, try below.
In Visual Studio:
Click Tools->Options->Text Editor->All Languages->General
Uncheck "Auto list members"
Uncheck "Parameter information"
Check "Auto list members" (yes, the one you just unchecked)
Check "Parameter information" (again, the one you just unchecked)
Click OK
If this doesn't work, here's a few more steps to try:
Close all VS documents and reopen
If still not working, close/reopen solution
If still not working, restart VS.
For C++ projects:
MSDN has a few things to try: MSDN suggestions
The corrupt .ncb file seems a likely culprit.
From MSDN:
Close the solution.
Delete the .ncb file.
Reopen the solution. (This creates a new .ncb file.)
Sometimes, it could be because of different extension style that you are using for the files.
In my case Intellisense is working in all the files except for a file in a different project of the same solution.
When I have changed the extension of the file to cxx from cpp,it started working.
The includes and other files in the solution are of extension .cxx or .txx.
Thank you
Save your solution. Closing the VS2010 instance for this solution and re-oprning worked for me.
Here I assume that Intellisense was working OK but stopped for some unknown reason without changing any default settings.

After uninstalling ReSharper, the squigglies that show up underneath a syntax error stopped showing up in the code editor.
This blog post helped me fix the issue.
Try this:
Close any open instances of visual studio, delete the folder 10.0 inside `C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\' and restart the visual studio. Issue will be fixed.
In my case, none of the above worked (although I discovered that sometimes the *.suo file is the trouble maker - in those cases deleting it helps).
I fixed it successfully the following way: Let's assume your solution has the name MySolution. Do the following:
Reset the settings (as described here). Close Visual Studio 2012.
Locate the file MySolution.sln.DotSettings (it is in the same folder as your MySolution.sln file)
Rename or delete it (for example rename it to XMySolution.sln.DotSettingsX so VS won't read it)
Open your solution by double-clicking on the MySolution.sln file
And afterwards Intellisense was working again just fine. I assume the file MySolution.sln.DotSettings got corrupted.
Note: The file MySolution.sln.DotSettings was created and checked in to TFS by a team colleague who had installed ReSharper. The issue occurred on a different PC without ReSharper where the same project was opened.
For me, this was related to an incorrect xaml file build action in an Azure WorkerRole project (bizarre, though it may seem!). Please see my entry in this post if you want to know more:
C# VS2010 Entering break mode failed
The fix for the error in the above thread also resulted in the intellisense starting to work again.
I fixed this problem by removing Sybase Power Designer VS extension.
You can try to disable other extensions.
Exactly the same issue, though would appear only on certain projects (even within a single solution).
Removing the *.*proj.user file (e.g. *.csproj.user) for the projects in question properly reset the missing features ("Go To Definition", "Organize Usings", Intellisense on certain types, etc).
In our case, I suspect this happens sometimes when we switch branches with an SCM that uses a single working directory (like git). If setup properly, it wouldn't track *.user* files but that means that if there are incompatible changes in it across different branches, you need to regenerate it.
So of course the "sometimes" would depend on the current branch and the next branch.
Unfortunately I don't see a very good solution if that's the case. Sometimes you really want to keep the user settings across branches if they're compatible, sometimes you want to regenerate them unconditionally. Ideally, you might even want to only change parts of them when switching, while keeping other parts.
If you never need to keep them and are fine with regenerating them every time, then you can configure your SCM to always remove these files while switching branches (e.g. using hooks for git). This is a pretty naive solution however, doing it more universally correctly would require a smarter system (aware of the semantics behind the .user files and capable of capturing/prompting user intent when needed).
save, close and reopen the source file you are working on. This works every time for me.
Try to add the statement:
<%# Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="IP_Updater.Default" %>
...at beginning of your page. The above example is applied for page Default.aspx written in VB.NET.
This is the problem related to Microsoft MSDN , your MSDN might be getting some problem. The solutions to this is uninstall MSDN and then re-install . before going for this make sure that you system is free from virus attack.
Hope that after doing , the Microsoft Intellisense will start running
I am using VS 2010 and recently I moved some files around and changed paths etc.
The solution still compiles correctly and all files are able to be loaded/compiled without error however just about every time I go to compile after a change it gives me the save as dialog and asks me to save one of the projects, if I try to give it a new name or something the dialog does not exist nothing I do can make it exit apart from pressing cancel.
If I do a build straight after cancelling it works fine and I'm not presented with the save as dialog. I have verified that the project file is not read only.
Any ideas as to whats going on here.
The solution is stored in TFS 2008
You need to do 2 things
1- remove the read-only tick from the project folder
2- when a save-as window prompts at build, just overwrite the project
next time you build, the window won't pop up
You need to run VS as administrator. (right click on VS Icon- Run as administrator)
I solved the issue. When I try to save as this time it gives the error that file is being used by another process. Google Sync prevents to save so it opens save as dialog.
You should put your project under a folder not sync while working.
Are the bindings in TFS set up correctly with the new location? TFS will mark files as read only unless they get checked in. It might have been marked as such before you moved everything around, and now, isn't being checked out properly.
Also, try closing sync. files tools like google backup and sync.
