Visual studio “Could not complete the action.” On any intellisense action - visual-studio-2012

When I try to do something on .ascx control like creating <%# Register tag or try to use shortcut Ctrl+K+F VS throws error "Could not complete the action."
Nothing helps: reset settings, clearing caches and so on.

Uncheck "Format on paste" at Tools > Options > JavaScript/TypeScript > Formatting > General.

Android Studio: How do I disable reformat code completion popup

I'm developing an app on my mac in Android Studio. When I reformat code an annoying popup appears telling me how many lines have been formatted, etc. Is there a way to disable this popup?
Preferences > Editor > General
The first option under the "Formatting" header is "Show notification after reformat code action"; disable it.

How to disable Auto Save in Android Studio

Is there way to disable auto save in Android Studio?
I have already unchecked "Save files automatically if application is idle for n sec"
under Setting->General.
Anything else to be done?
Disable Autosave
File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Autosave > then uncheck both Save files if the IDE is idle for |15| seconds and Save files when switching to a different application > Apply
After doing the above, you may like to do enable the following 2 options too-
Mark Changed But Unsaved File
File > Settings > Editor > General > Editor Tabs > then check Mark modified (*) > Apply
Save One File with Ctrl+S
File > Settings > Keymap > search with save document > right click Save Document > Add Keyboard Shortcut > press Ctrl+S> OK > Remove > Apply
In android Studio 2.1.1, 2016
File -> Settings -> Appearance and Behavior -> System Settings
And see synchronization paragraph and uncheck autosave and/or 'use safe write'
If you go to Settings, and type Save in the search you will find under the IDE Settings an area called "General". From there you can find a number of options to control saving. It sometimes does not work and saving will continue anyway. Unfortunately there is no universal "turn-off" switch. AS is a hand holding IDE, you just have to get use to it.
Settings section you are seeking looks like this:
For Android Studio v3.3
Open Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S or File->Settings)
On the top left corner of the settings menu, search for "save" in the search bar field
Click on System Settings and all the sub-settings related to save will be highlighted
Uncheck Save files automatically if application is idle for * sec
Click on apply and close the settings menu.
It is highly recommended to follow this method
Mark Changed But Unsaved File which will help you distinguish between your unsaved and saved files.

Visual Studio 2013 Edit and Continue not working

With VS2013 Pro I am not able to use "Edit and Continue" when debugging an MFC program. I created a new MFC project to test.
OS is Windows 7 64-bit and I'm running Visual Studio 2013 12.0.30110.00 Update1.
Under Tools->Options->Debugging->Edit and Continue I have Enable Edit and Continue checked. I have unchecked it and checked it, but whenever I modify the code while debugging I get the following message:
The source file has changed. It no longer matches the version of the file used to build the application being debugged.
Basically I haven't changed any settings except for the tab sizes and I've set the keyboard mapping scheme to VC6.
What setting am I missing to enable edit and continue?
Edit and Continue is disabled for native code by default. To enable:
On the Tools menu, click Options.
In the Options dialog box, open the Debugging node, and select the Edit and Continue category.
In the Native-only options group, select Enable native Edit and Continue
Edit:
Steps to test native Edit and Continue is working:
Start VS 2013
Create a new MFC project:
FILE->New Project->MFC Application->OK.
Select Finish on the MFC Application Wizard.
Build and start debugging:
BUILD->Build Solution
DEBUG->Start Debugging
Break into the program:
DEBUG->Break all
Make a code change:
Open OutputWnd.cpp and find COutputWnd::OnSize (Line 80)
Insert this line at the start of the function: cx = cx / 2;
Continue execution:
DEBUG->Continue
Resize the application window to see the effect of the code change on the Output pane at the bottom. Its width should be half the required size.
Edit and continue is also a Setting for each project.
It must be set in the compiler options under C++ -> General -> Debug Information Format: "Program Database for Edit And Continue (/ZI)"
Also the linker settings must be changed. The linker has to use incremental linking. Linker -> General -> Enable Incremental Linking = Yes or (for VC 2012 users) C++ -> All Options -> Enable Function-Level Linking = Yes (/Gy)
For more information read the MSDN.
The last hint helped, but we had to
set "Image Has Safe exception handlers" = NO(/SAFESEH:NO)
in all projects of our solution!
I did all steps described above, but nothing helps (thanks all for it).
My solution was:
Project -> Properties -> Linker -> Advanced:
set
"Image Has Safe exception handlers" = NO(/SAFESEH:NO)
Apply, Ok, and Rebuild project.
Hope it helps.
For what it's worth I've been pulling my hair out on this one as well. I finally got edit and continue working by changing the following setting:
Project > Properties > Linker > All Options > "image has safe exception handlers".
It was set to No (/SAFESEH:NO). I went in and deleted it. I didn't set it to YES, or NO. I simply kept it blank. I would love to know what it means to be blank. But edit and continue is now working for me. Maybe it will help for you.
A project with a "Release Configuration" will disable Edit and Continue.
To change this
Open "Configuration Manager"
Change Configuration for the project from Release to Debug
Rebuild and debug project
Edit and Continue will also not work if your project's Platform Toolset is set to Visual Studio 2012 (v110), instead of the usual Visual Studio 2013 (v120).
This setting is in Project > Configuration Properties > General > Platform Toolset.
The solution of this problem is on the Microsoft Documentation...
If IntelliTrace is enabled and you collect both IntelliTrace events and call information, Edit and Continue is disabled.
On Visual studios' menu go on Tools>>options - Select "IntelliTrace" tab and let IntelliTrace events only checked.. Save, restart the visual studio and.......
Your Edit and Continue will work again!

How to Re-enable F12 to Go To Definition After Installing Resharper in Visual Studio 2012

In visual studio 2012, also should work with other versions:
Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard
In the box "Show commands containing:", type "Edit.GoToDefinition", then in the box "Press shortcut keys" hit F12 and click assign.
Enter Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard and press the Reset button. Click OK to save changes.
Then enter in Resharper > Options > Environment > Keyboards & Menus. Select Visual Studio and then press Apply Scheme button. Click Save to save changes.
Worked for me.
Credits to F12 no longer works in Visual Studio
For Resharper 2019 / Visual Studio 2019 this can be changed via the resharper options, under Tools > External Sources. Resetting the keyboard scheme does nothing.
The above didn't work for me. I had to remove all keyboard shorcuts and re-applying them:
1) Enter Resharper > Options > Keyboard & Menus:
2) Choose None and then Apply Scheme:
3) Repeat the above, this time choose Visual Studio scheme (don't forget to click Apply Scheme).
Enter Resharper > Environment > Keyboard & Menus. Uncheck Override Visual Studio refactorings
Worked for me.

Restore intellisense after ReSharper trial expires

I have a C# license for ReSharper, and a little while ago Jetbarins gave me a license key for a 30 day trial of ReSharper full. This has expired and I have gone back to ReSharper C#, and as a result have completely lost VB intellisense.
How do I restore normal VB.Net intellisense from within Visual Studio? Is there a way to do this without resetting all Visual Studio settings (I have changed a number of settings, don't want to have to go through and change them all again).
I had this same problem after my ReSharper trial expired.
The fix is to go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages.
Then under Statement completion, ensure 'Auto list members' and 'Parameter information' are checked (for me they were partially selected)
Just an update for VS2013, you can go into Tools>Options and find Resharper as it's own menu item there, then click suspend.
It seems to undo all the changes it made at this point and restore my original settings.
Also consider reenabling errors in about the same place: Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced
Under "Editor Help" section, recheck:
Underline errors in the editor
Show live semantic errors
