When I hit F12 (or right-click and select Go To Definition) in Visual Studio on code I don't have the source for, it should bring up a generated metadata file. (Very similar to the Code Definition Window)
This doesn't work when ReSharper (R#) is installed. After R# is installed, the Object Browser opens instead.
I've had this problem on several fresh installed computers, and at least since R# 3. (You'll see this works again when you disable R# and restart VS)
How can I get to the metadataview now?
You can change ReSharper's F12 action by going to ReSharper -> Options... -> Tools -> External Sources and changing the order and selection of the External source data providers.

After upgrading to Visual Studio 2015, holding control while clicking on a symbol navigates to that symbol definition. In prior versions, this would instead select the entire word.
How can I disable the navigation event when CTRL + Click(ing) a symbol, so that it highlights the word?
I do have Resharper (Ultimate 9.2) installed. The configuration option under Environment -> Search & Navigation -> Go to Declaration on Control + Click in the editor is not checked.
All the search engine results make mention of this being a feature of the Productivity Power Tools extensions in previous versions of Visual Studio. I do not have that extension installed.
I found my solution in the "Options - Text Editor - General" settings. This was on VS 2017 thou.
To disable navigation to symbol definitions in VS2015,
this one worked for me.
With Resharper Ultimate 2016.3.1, I could fix the issue by disabling "Rich mouse navigation in the editor". It can be found in Resharper Options window, under Environment > Search & Navigation.
Maybe updating Resharper could solve the issue.
Also, Productivity Power Tools is not installed on my machine.
In vs 2017 this setting is available in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition.
You can uncheck it!
Go to ReSharper Options > Environment > Search & Navigation, then uncheck the following options:
Rich mouse navigation in the editor
Enable 'Smart go to declaration'
I finally solved it following the info I found on this page..
edit
Ensure you are using Visual Studio as your resharper keyboard scheme.
Environment -> Keyboard & Menus
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
To stop the go to declaration, select it and input a new key short cut for it. In this image I have demonstrated that I changed this short cut to ctr num 1 and could not change it to ctr num 3. On testing crt click does not no take me to the declaration.
Find the shortcut you want to remove, in this case Edit.NavigateTo and remove.
An update for Productivity Power Tools + VS2017. Instead of having settings for this feature, a separate plugin gets installed. So after installing PPTs, you'll have a new extension called Ctrl+Click Go To Definition. Not sure why we need that tool considering it's baked into VS, but...
Anyway, Disabling that extension (plus the other things mentioned in other comments for VS and Resharper) fixed my ctrl+click woes.
To switch to the Visual C# keyboard mapping scheme
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Expand Environment, and then click Keyboard.
Select Visual C# 2005 from the Apply the following application
keyboard mapping scheme drop-down list.
or you can do
Keyboard: CTRL + W
also plugin can be used
Keyboard Shortcut Exporter
you can import/export keymapping file
First I thought it was a problem of VS2013 RC/beta but now I installed VS2013 RTM and still have the same problem: code completion does only open after I execute it manually by strg+space. How can I turn on auto open the windows after typed e.g. a point?
Be sure that your IntelliSense is activated
Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Statement completion
Then, be sure Auto list members is checked and Parameter Information.
When intellisense is displayed is a language specific setting. If you're asking about c# then you want to check the following
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked
If you're using a different language please update the question and I'll try to point you in the right direction
This happened after uninstalling Resharper 8.x (I don't see the point given VS 2013's advances), so I'd chalk this to an unclean resharper uninstall.
The solution is very quick though:
Open VS2013
Tools -> Import and Export settings
Reset all settings
Visual C#
TOOLS->Import and Export Settings Wizard->Reset all settings->select “No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings”->Choose a Default Collection of settings. Check it again.
If none of the above suggestions work, check if you have an extension Web Essentials installed. Try removing it (and install again). Web Essentials has caused my intellisense to stop working multiple times and a simple re-install always fixes the issue for me.
This happened to me after uninstalling Resharper 8.x
Solution:
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is *un*checked
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked
Do not need reset all settings. I had a same problem but i' ve have just solved it.
Run resharper.setup.exe
do not click uninstall or repair. just click reinstall it
after installation it will be ok
good luck:)
Here's what worked for me (using Visual Studio 2013 w/ ReSharper 8.0.2):
Tools->Options->ReSharper
Click "Suspend Now"
Click "Resume Now"
1: Try to use ReSharper 8.0.2 Best Code analysic, completion tool
2: Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Language > Make Check on Auto List members
Method 1
List item
Tools -> Options
Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked
Method 2(for me after uninstall resharper)
List item
Open VS2013
Tools -> Import and Export settings
Reset all settings
General/Your prefer language(like Visual C#)
I'm running Visual Studio 2010 (10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel) with ReSharper 5.1 (5.1.3000.12). Recently, it seems as though ReSharper has completely lost the ability to navigate to a type.
Here are some actions I can take in the UI that now do nothing:
Right-click on type name in code
editor and select "Go To
Declaration"
Right-click on type name in code
editor and select "Go To
Implementation"
R# "Go to type" (Ctrl-T)
In the R# "Find Results" window, double-clicking a type
Here are some actions that still work:
Double-clicking an item in Solution Explorer
Opening a file from VS Command Window
I've completely uninstalled Visual Studio, then reinstalled it with SP1, and ReSharper 5.1, and I still have the same problem.
I'm assuming there's some kind of configuration open that I've done that is disabling the ability to navigate to a type with ReSharper, I just can't figure out what it is.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I just experienced this problem. None of the previous suggestions worked for me unfortunately, but I managed to resolve it:
Go to Resharper -> Options
Under Keyboard Shortcuts, temporarily switch to a different scheme than the one selected
Press 'Apply Scheme' button then press Save
hen repeat, but this time select the scheme you actually want and press 'Apply Scheme'
Hopefully that fixes it!
I am using VS 2010 SP1 (same as you)
Delete the Resharper temp files in the same location as your solution file. The folder name will be something like _ReSharper.SomeSolution
Failing that, try one of the R# nightly builds here altho it should work with your current config.
Visual Studio can be quite slow to open and work with. The menus and auto-hide windows can get sluggish and commands take a while to start. What are the list of things one can do to make the UI of Visual Studio load faster and operate faster? What settings can one change to make it feel lean and minimal?
PS: I know Visual Studio Express is way leaner and faster. However, I rely on some Visual Studio addons, and addons are not supported in Express.
PS2: I have already closed all unnecessary windows. All diagnostic windows are on auto-hide. And all the tool bars are closed. I work almost completely using keyboard shortcuts.

I know that VS 2008 slowed down from VS 2005. I feel this pain every once in a while when im doing a quick Find or Find-Replace, or Find-In-Solution...etc. The UI sometimes isn't as fast as your hands are (when you're using keyboard shortcuts).
I found that just slowing down sometimes is the way to do it (it sucks, but then again, so does many things about Windows).
If it's load times youre concerned about; disable the startup stuff (from the Options menu). Here you can choose to load a blank screen upon VS load AND not to subscribe to any news feeds. (this helps alot depending on your internet connection).
you can also, via Options, adjust the visual animations that occur, as well as just disabling them altogether.
If there's anything else im missing, which im sure there is, i'd really like to know as well!
One thing that can potentially speed up visual studio is to disable document navigation.
Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> and uncheck 'Navigation Bar'.
This is definitately an option in 2008, pretty sure its in 2005 too.
Another option to try:
Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor and Uncheck 'Track Changes'.
Without knowing the information I posted in the comments I will say the typical stuff. Turn off all addons, if you are using vista or 7 switch to basic vs aero, check all running processes. This is where I would start.
My Visual Studio (2008) Editor has stopped to underline Errors (this nifty wavy red lines). I can't really tell when, but it can be related to the installation of .Net Framework 3.5 SP 1 or the MVC Beta (which I guess is unlikely). Furthermore have I installed and uninstalled both CodeRush and Resharper for evaluation purposes (decided not to keep either one of them).
Does anyone know the problem and how to restore this functionality again?
Have you checked Tools→Options...→Text Editor→C#→Advanced→Underline errors in the editor?
I usually like to reset my settings after messing around with plugins, as they tend to mess with settings: Tools→Import and Export Settings...→Reset all settings.
About possible causes.
For VS 2012 and 2013 if you have more than one instance of Visual Studio on different machines binded to one "live" account and have installed ReSharper on one of them, it disables the native IntelliSense and error underlines (to replace by it's own rules) that will be synchronised through your account to another machine without ReSharper.
Found it in Visual Studio 2019 as: Tools > Options > Text Editor > General > Show error squiggles
This is generally called Disable Squiggly or Wavy lines in Visual Studio.
How you will do in Visual studio 2013?
TOOLS -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Squiggles: True/False (Under IntelliSense) -> Press OK
I know its an old question, and with various solutions, but I have fixed it in different way. I'm working with Unity3D on my C# code using VS2017, when suddenly VS decides to stop underlining error while im typing. However, if I close the file tab and reopen, it suddenly undelines the error.
For example:
class A {
public int x;
s;
}
should obvsiouly give an error for that lonely 's' symbol. But, VS doesn't underline it until I close and reopen this file tab.
Solution:
Copied the entire Unity Project folder (which is like a regular VS Solution folder basically) and worked with the new folder, which issue was gone there.
For visual studio 2017 act according to HeeJae's comments in:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/113112/design-time-error-checking-isnt-working.html
i.e:
Hi. you are probably hitting a known issue. can you try this?
1.Update to latest release If that doesn’t solve it
2.Go to Tools\Options\Projects and Solutions\General and uncheck “Allow parallel project initialization”.
3.Close VS.
4.Delete the “.vs” directory beside their solution file.
5.Reopen VS.
..
thank you
You can re-enable the "Allow parallel project initialization" option after the issue was solved.
I tried to upgrade VS, reset VS settings, clear VS cache and everything people do conventionally but none of them solved this issue! At the end the mentioned solution worked for me magically.
Good luck
Unloading and loading same project again from the solution does the trick. Just right click on the project and click "Unload Project". Once unloaded, again right click the same project and click "Reload Project". Error highlighting will return.
I had the same issue with 2017. There was a 'disable intelisense' option, make sure that is set to false.
For everyone wondering in 2021..
search for "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles" in the settings.
Make sure to have it active for the user, as well as the workspace.
No need to restart Visual Studio.
For me (VS 2019) , after trying the other answers also, setting the scope of analysis from "Current document" to Open document" brought back the missing error markers
Just go to settings and search for errors and Image in Error Squiggles. You can see the Error squiggles (Modified: Workspace - Right now you can't see it because I modified it). Just click on modified and you will see the disabled option. If by mistake you disabled it, just enable it and you can see the red line errors again in your code.
In latest edition, check for .vscode folder in same project folder. There will be a setting.json file in that. Delete the key value pair of "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Disabled". Restart the vs code.
