I have a problem and that is that Resharper is active for me but you are not working.
After a bit of research I went from the Intellisense menu to ReSharper
let me
But there was no Intellisense menu
enter image description here
As you can see in the picture, there is no Intellisense menu.
What should I do now?
Check whether you have ReSharper enabled on the Products & Features options page. In general, if you have any issues with ReSharper it's better to ask on the dedicated ReSharper support forum.

I am using IncrediBuild 5.0 from Visual Studio 2012, and I notice that the IncrediBuild tab has a "Latest News" section that changes text every few seconds, which I find quite distracting while consuming a lot of screen real estate from the IncrediBuild status panel.
I bet somebody got a really nice bonus for that feature
The tab has a close button, which in fact does close the tab, only to appear again a while after (not sure if it is after a few days, after a reboot, or after a Visual Studio restart).
Anyways, I can't find any way to completely disable this quite annoying "feature". I have checked all the agent settings and I can't find anything remotely similar to what I'm looking for.
Does anybody know how can I completely disable the "Latest News" tab in IncrediBuild?
This 'feature' has annoyed me for ages. A colleague found something:
in your installation folder (Program Files\Xoreax\Incredibuild) check the data\news\news.dat file. There is a flag inside EnableNews=1, disable it.
In VS2012 when you select a file in solution explorer it automatically opens file in a special "preview" tab.
Maybe my computer is not fast enough, but this preview is too slow for my taste.
How do I disable this feature?
In Tools > Options > Environment > Tabs and Windows, you can disable it by unckecking "Solution explorer" under Preview tab.
I find it using the "Quick launch" new feature. Simply type "preview", and a link to the setting will be suggested. Great new feature of VS
You can also toggle file preview within the Solution Explorer tool-window itself:
This may have been added in the July update because I hadn't noticed it before then.
One of the buttons at the top of the solution explorer toggles whether this is enabled.
On Visual Studio 2013 I have done this by this Icon :
An even better solution IMO is to completely disable the File Preview feature (not just for Solution Explorer):
Open Tools > Options
Navigate to Environment > Tabs and Windows
Uncheck "Allow new files to be opened in the preview tab"
This also prevents things like Go To Definition (F12) from using preview tabs.
I downloaded StyleCop 4.6.3 which integrates with ReSharper 6 and the results are really fantastic!
However on a specific project I would like to disable the StyleCop warnings (temporarily) and enable again later on.
Is there any way of doing this? I can't seem to find it on the ReSharper menu (options, etc).
You can use different Settings.Stylecop settings for each project, just create one that ignores all the rules. Right click on a project and select Stylecop settings to modify them.
I think you can also disable plugins by unticking them from ReSharper->Plugins... (in version 5.1, not sure if it's the same in 6.0)
Im a great fan of resharper, and used to use the stylecop for resharper plugin a while back.
I wanted to use it again today but the stylecop for resharper codeplex site says that stylecop for resharper is now integrated into stylecop.
So I installed stylecop (4.6), but my resharper (5.1) appears to be unchanged.
I particularly liked using the code formatting settings that were included in the stylecop for resharper package (I think the file was 'StyleCopCodeStyle.xml', which could be used in the resharper options to set the code formatting and cleanup behaviour) - this xml file is now gone.
Am I missing something. Theres zero doumentation about this stylecop/resharper marriage, and I clueless as to what I am actually getting
Can anyone shed some light on this ?
Just an update for ReSharper 9:
To install ReSharper & StyleCop together follow these steps:
Close all Visual Studio Applications (Important!!).
Install ReSharper by double clicking the executable and following the installation process. This step will require administration rights (most likely). The precise steps to follow are unknown as they are likely to be different in the trial versus full version.
Download the stylecop msi file from here: https://stylecop.codeplex.com/releases/view/79972
Install it by double clicking and following a standard install process.
NOTE: It might be required to move the install files into a different directory from C: because otherwise if the user does not have administration rights they will not be able to supress rules.
Open Visual studio and there should be a new menu item in the top menu bar called ReSharper. Select Extension Manager…
A new window should open with a list of all of the possible extensions for resharper. Search (top right of the window) for “ReSharper.StyleCop” and press the install button.
Follow the basic installation instructions for this add-on.
Restart visual studio.
All done!!
On the StyleCop project home page, it is quite clearly states that StyleCop 4.5 is the version that is compatible with Resharper 5.1.
I have problem with Resharper - all it's menu options are greyed, no shortcuts working...
I've tried run installer with repair option - no success
Also tried uninstall / install back - same.. :(
ReSharperSetup.4.5.1288.2.msi
Can someone advice how to make it working back?
I had a similar problem with VS2010 and version 5.1.1753.4 of ReSharper. ReSharper is shown as "Not Loaded" in VS2010 About box and no ReSharper menu is visible. After multiple install/uninstall/register MSXML6/attempts of ReSharper, I finally figured out that:
A REINSTALL DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY RE-ENABLE RESHARPER IF IT WAS DISABLED AT THE TIME OF DEINSTALLATION!
So the simple fix is just got to Tools.Options.ReSharper.General in VS2010 and enable it again.
In case ReSharper is listed as [Not Loaded] under Help > About Visual Studio, this most likely means that msxml6 component registration is broken. To fix this problem, just re-install MS XML Core services 6.
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings
Source.
See if it's even loaded by ticking the checkbox it in the Tools → Add-in Manager.
