Extend Arrows Missing - visual-studio

I upgraded my Visual Studio to the latest version 15.3.1 yesterday. Since then, I noticed that the little arrows that help you extend an element are missing -- see below:
Prior to my update, I was using Visual Studio 2017 15.3 and the arrows were there. Even though the arrows are missing, I'm able to extend items. It's just a nuisance really.
Anyone else is having this issue? Any known fixes?

The same happened to me after the upgrade. I solved this by replacing the file %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_{id}\ImageLibrary\ImageLibrary.cache with a copy from a working setup.

Slow autocomplete in Visual Studio 2019

I recently upgraded to Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 (version 16.0.3) and I have been having serious problems with autocomplete. It is so slow that I type faster than it is able to update, and frequently after I type out a complete and correct language keyword such as foreach the autocomplete drop down won't appear until moments before I press space which in many cases causes the keyword foreach to be corrected to some nonsense without warning.
This hasn't been a problem for me with any other version of Visual Studio going back to Visual Studio 97, and it is driving me nuts. I have no addons installed.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, what if anything were you able to do to resolve it?
You should open window defender then add exclusion folder for visual studio 2019.
I also add my folder source code.
Hope this help to who need
Hello I found that checking out this checkbox speeds ups VisualStudio InteliSence a lot...enter image description here
Upgrading to 16.1.4 seems to have resolved the problem.

Visual studio 2013 pending changes window not comments field

I am using Visual Studio 2013 together with TFS 2012 since a few weeks. Until yesterday I always had the Comments Textbox in the "Pending Changes Window". Now it has dissapeared and I can not find a way to get it back. This is a serious problem since it is mandatory to give comments to every checkin.
Can anybody tell me how to get the comments textbox back.
Can you post a screenshot of your Pending Changes window? It should be right here:
I recently had to struggle through this issue myself and found there is very little information out there on how to resolve it.
For my situation, what finally fixed the issue was removing the 2012 version of TFS Power Tools and upgrading to the 2013 version. There are several members of my team who are using the combination of TFS Power Tools 2012 and VS 2013 with no issues, I'm the only one who saw this.
I suspect that this was not a power tools issue as much as it was a problem with VS caching some TFS data locally. I tried a number of options to clear caches in both VS and TFS and nothing worked until I did this uninstall/reinstall.
Regardless, after the TFS power tools upgrade and a reboot, the Comment box was back. Hope that helps!
EDIT: I should also point out that not only was my "Comments" section missing, I also had no "Policy Warnings" section which we require on certain projects of our TFS.
I had exactly the same issue right after installing NCrunch 2.4.
Uninstalling it brought my comment box back.
Having the same issue. Vanished today. Have not installed anything for weeks. I had 3 Visual Studio 2013 up at the same time. 2 was bugged, 1 was not. I closed the 2 buggy ones, and then the working one hoping that last one would save its settings last. Did not work. Now I have no way of adding comments. I can check in anything without the policy blocking me like it normally does when I do not enter a comment.
UPDATE: A simple reboot of the client solved it. The Comment is back!

Potential Visual Studio Issue: Can't resolve symbol but works fine?

I feel like either this is an issue in Visual Studio or I'm crazy.
Ingredients
I'm using:
Visual Studio Professional 2012 (11.0.61030.00) Update 4
ReSharper 7
xUnit for tests
FluentAssertions in my test code.
The Issue
Just recently, resharper showed me an issue:
I navigated to the file, and sure enough, there seemed to be the issue in the code.
But I'm referencing FluentAssertions:
And if I clean and rebuild the entire solution, I get no errors:
And all of the tests even run correctly:
Questions
Why would this just start showing up after installing Visual Studio Update 4?
What can I do to make it go away?
Is there actually a problem with something, or if tests & code run fine and no errors appear, is it not an issue at all?
First time I've seen anything like this so I'd appreciate any insight.
This could be for several reasons, such as NuGet package restore - if the packages (and therefore the assemblies) weren't there when the solution was opened, ReSharper will mark them as undefined. It's usually pretty good at noticing and reindexing when the assemblies are added, but perhaps it missed them here. Sometimes opening the file again will cause the errors to be reindexed, sometimes it requires the solution to be closed and reopened.
Alternatively, and what is probably the most likely way to fix, is to go to ReSharper -> Options -> General and click Clear Caches. ReSharper will rebuild the solution cache, and should reindex everything and get rid of the errors.
In this case, the solution appears to be the old "Restart the PC" trick.
If anyone knows how an issue such as this could be resolved without restarting the PC, I'm happy to award you the answer.
Check you don't have any old missing references, just noticed on my solution the same issue removing old missing references did the trick for me.

Visual Studio removes line break on start

I have the problem that Visual Studio (or maybe Resharper?) removes line breaks when I try to start my application. This happens in a way that when I press F5 or click on the run button with the mouse that a line break at the line where the cursor was the last time will be removed which is extremely annoying.
I have not tried so many things yet because I really don't know where to start. I never experienced this problem before and was always working with the same setup:
Visual Studio 2010
Resharper 6.1.1
Other plugins I use but which were installed after the problem (so I think they should not be related to the problem):
AnkhSvn
TeamCity
Example:
Before:
public void test(){
int x = 5;
}
After running the solution:
public void test(){
int x = 5;}
Edit: This issue seems to be related to Resharper - so hopefully they will be able to fix this issue as I never had this with any previous versions. (http://devnet.jetbrains.net/message/5456038#5456038).
This is a problem with Dexexpress Dim#ster patch. If you delete licenses.licx and compile in the source code. Not happend. The problem is when you open a form and licenses.licx is created again. Is you uninstall the patch this dissapear. But I dont understand why deactivating Resharper the problem gone too. But without patch and resharper + devexpress trial working fine.
The problem is the patch.
I'd do this before reinstalling:
Uninstall All plugins
Type devenv.exe /resetsettings
Now try and use your code as described without plugins. Slowly add back your plugins if its ok and check after each is installed if the problem manifests itself. if not it was some setting in one and its now gone, if it comes back after one is installed you have a good thing to look at.
Just blatting the environment means you'll never find out whats causing it, which would annoy me :)
Have a look at ReSharper's Braces-settings: http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/code_formatting.html#Code_Style_Configuration_and_Sharing (1st screenshot). Try changing those settings according to your needs.
If you're a member of a team, maybe someone else enabled sharing of "code style settings". See the previous link for that, 2nd screenshot.
Does it also occur when you just build the project?
In the build options try doing clean project, then open close the program. After this do a rebuild project. Also make sure the project is in debug mode for testing =)!
Delete the settings resharper in solution. Helped me.
I know that this question is a little bit old. But this may help anyone who encountered the same error with resharper and devexpress controls. I've tried all the above instructions, but the nothing works. BTW I'm using visual studio 2017 with resharper 2017.2.2 and devexpress 17.2.3
This what works for me.
Open build&run window in resharper. Click Resharper>Windows>Build&Run to open the the window then select "Enable 'Resharper Build'. Open any file in text editor and move the cursor at the end of any line of codes or on any empty line and try to build the project to see if it works.
Hope this will help.
At this point I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling VS. Then add ReSharper and any of your extensions one at a time.
I had the same problem. I use this prebuilt-event script
break>$(ProjectDir)\Properties\licenses.licx
I have ReSharper 10.0.2, VS2013, DevExpress Components and VisualSVN.

Scrolling in Visual Studio causes text to become unreadable

Since the past week I'm having a very bothering issue that blocks me from using Visual Studio.
For instance, here's what I normally see:
But as soon as I scroll a bit down (either with the arrow key, mouse wheel or the scroll bar), this is what I get:
As you can see, part of the frame seems to be "locked" in the screen.
The only way to see it right, is to make some other window cover VS's window, then going back to VS I see it right.
This is what I have tried (checking if the issue was solved after each step):
Check for updates
Repair VS2010
Remove R# and any other extension/add-in
Reinstall R# and any other extension/add-in
Remove VS2010 and any related software
Reinstall VS2010 + SP1 and updates
Remove any other unused software
Remove any recently installed/updated software
Run CCleaner
None of these steps solved the issue.
This happens only with VS2010, regardless the project or solution I'm opening.
I think you need to start looking beyond Visual Studio for issues. The next thing I'd look at is your graphics driver. Make sure you have the latest available version.
I have the same problem with VS 2012.
Scrolling up and down, does not refresh sections (rectangles) on my text editor view.
(unfortunately I've not enough reputation to post a screenshot.)
I managed to workaround it in VS 2012, by floating the editor.
i.e. Right Click on a file tab / Float All.
Otherwise I tried everything posted here, without any luck.
Hopefully someone out there knows how to undo this magic.
I had the same problem and it was due to the DameWare Development Mirror Driver.
I disabled it and the problem went away.
I'm having the same issue in VS 2015 pro.
Setting the editor windows to float fixes the problem which definitely looks like a bug in visual studio.
I'm on a Citrix virtual Desktop and the problem appears to be that a "column" of the editor (on the left side) is not redrawing properly after scrolling right, left, or down. For some reason scrolling up is fine.
For me, using VS 2013 Pro, the cause was having the JAWS Screen Reader installed, which, ominously, included a video interceptor. Once uninstalled VS started working normally again.
I had this same problem and it turns out it wasn't a graphics driver issue. The company I work for uses software that acts like a virtual monitor to remotely log into our PCs to install software and fix problems. It turns out that this extra virtual monitor was the problem. Disabling it fixed the scrolling in Visual Studio.
I had the same problem in Visual Studio 2017. When I changed the color theme to 'dark' the problem seemed to be fixed
