Intellisense not working in visual micro

We get a search for "intellisense not working in visualmicro" every so often so this post is a quick note about this problem.

The intellisense sometimes doesn't work after first install or on rare occassions stops working in a sketch. The problem is usually corrected by re-starting Visual Studio. 

To ensure you make a clean re-start of Visual Studio you should close Visual Studio and open "Task Manager" by right clicking the windows task bar. Under the "processes" tab in task manager you can terminate any devenv.exe processes. Deven.exe is Visual Studio which should not appear in the processes list if it is closed. So, when Visual Studio is closed, the deven.exe process can be safely terminated

Should the problem persist add a comment to this topic.

Hello,

so the intellisense function works by pressing CTRL + J
but in the tutorial is mentioned that the intellisense function
starts automatically by start typing...
that isn the case in my vb.net 2010
is it a known bug or just my fault?

regards,
phil =)

Yes good question,

As far as I can tell, in 2010 we get automatic intellisense suggestions when "." or "->" etc. is added to the source code after typing an object name. For first level objects/vars you need to use CTRL+J or the class explorer.

VS 2010 Example: Enter the text "Serial." and the intellisense list will automatically appear for the Serial object (available(), print() etc).

In Visual Studio 2012, intellisense appears instantly.

VS 2012 Example: Enter the text "Ser" and the intellisense list will appear showing Serial,Serial1 etc. This is the same list as pressing CTRL+J in 2010

PS: Visual Micro does not have any control over when the intellisense appears, Visual Micro just makes sure that when it does appear it is correct for your Arduino projects and libraries
