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!
I installed android studio.. it was working fine. Now all the sudden, none of the auto complete features are working.. I can type anything anywhere no variable checking, no help with functions or checking anything. I can still compile the project and I get errors when that happens.
Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
#1 From Build menu (of your Android Studio), click Rebuild Project option.
#2 Then once rebuild completes, go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... and Click on Invalidate an Restart button.
This really works for me.
Source: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61844#c4
#1 Rebuild is required, because Android-Studio does simply rely solely on Gradle's build-result (without static-analysis support, at least at time of writing, 2022).
#2 Clearing cache is required, because the previous build-result (before above rebuild) may be indexed, which makes Android Studio ignore latest Gradle build-result
(this is a very good speed optimization, but a very bad Developer-experience as well).
There can sometimes be other reasons too, which is why there are many other answers posted here.
You can also check if Power Save Mode on File menu is disabled.
Close Android Studio
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.android and rename the folder:
build-cache to build-cache_old
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (for Android studio 4 and Higher) go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old
Open Android Studio and open your project again.
Originally use:
compileSdkVersion 32
targetSdkVersion 32
And an update to 33 appeared, I updated it and the suggestions in the XML no longer appeared, I went back to 32 and now the suggestions appeared.
Close Android Studio
Go to c_users_path_on_windows/.AndroidStudio3.5/system/
Delete the cache folder
Start Android Studio
This works for me.
Most of the times i have seen that the problem is that Power Save Mode is enabled, to disable go to Current inspection profile (lower right corner in Android Studio).
I have not run into this problem personally, but try checking the following settings (File -> Settings or Alt+F7):
Project Settings [name]
Inspections - ensure that Android and Android Lint is checked, or alternately just set it back to default using the dropdown box at the top.
IDE Settings
Editor -> Code Completion - ensure the Autopopup code completion is checked (and check the rest of the settings based on your preference.
Uncheck "Power Save Mode" in "File" tab
If nothing works (like happened with me ) go to your user profile in windows at %userprofile% . You will find folders there (hidden) named with the version of the android studio you are using and prefixed with a dot.
like .AndroidStudio3.1. Just delete that .
Solution: Try disabling "File -> Power Save Mode" in Android Studio (Beta) 0.8.14 - Mac OS X
On windows, the option can be at some other place.
I had the same problem then I recalled that while exploring the new android studio, I switched on the "File -> Power Save Mode" to see what it does?
I disabled the power save mode and all those intelligent features were back.
It turned out that in Power Save Mode, Android Studio switches off the modules responsible for features like Smart Code Completion and Code Analysis.
I had a similar problem where none of the other solutions worked.
Closing Android Studio and then deleting the .idea and build folders resolved the issue.
Disable Power Save Mode and Invalidate Cache and Restart.
For Artic Fox 2020|3.1 Version: Auto Complete Suggestion Problem.
Please Follow the Following Steps:
Close Android Studio
Locate caches folder in C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3
and Delete it.
Open Android Studio Again.
Check your Android studio version and Target that version folder at below location
C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google
Note : AppData folder is Hidden in Windows
This Solution also works if android studio mess up with xml files and java code. Don't! modify your code otherwise IDE won't able to change it to default. If you see such messy code just follow above steps and your code will be fine again.
It's Working
Disable Power Save Mode
Untick Power Save Mode Option ::
File -> Power Save Mode
There is a power saver mode in android studio if accidentally you click on that it will disable code analysis which will reduce the battery consumption and performance will also increase but it will not detect any errors and do auto complete operations.
To disable power saver mode
- Go to File Menu of Studio
- Uncheck The Power Saver Mode
In your IDE code analysis will be shown using an eye symbol at the right corner of your android studio.
If Green means it is enabled and there is no error in your code.
If Red Means It is enabled but there are few errors in your code.
If It is white or blur then code analysis is disabled
Just remove all the folders named AndroidStudioPreview
On Windows:
Go to your User Folder - on Windows 7/8 this would be:
[SYSDRIVE]:\Users[your username] (ex. C:\Users\JohnDoe)
In this folder there should be a folder called .AndroidStudioPreview
On Mac OS X
Remove these files:
~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview
There can be several things which cause this.
Make sure you've write the correct version in targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion.
Make sure targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion are same.
Other solutions can be:
Invalidate caches & restart Android Studio from File → Invalidate Caches / Restarts...
Clean your project from Build → Clean Project
Rebuild project from Build → Rebuild Project
Make project from Build → Make Project [this process may take some time]
Be sure to check for IDE errors by clicking the button at the bottom right of android studio.
In my case, there was a bad plugin, and the IDE Fatal Errors window prompted me to uninstall the plugin. (I wish I'd known about this feature before spending half a day invalidating caches, deleting folders, and reinstalling android studio with no luck.)
It worked for me.
From menu select:
File -> Power Save Mode
and make sure it's disabled
Go TO Left Side Top File Option
Then Click To Power Save Mode
Disable Power Save Mode That Fix This Issue
In my case, when I switch keyboard language to English, the auto complete works again.
if the autocomplete isn't working for you in Android Studio, just press File and uncheck the Power save mode, it should work fine after that.
if power save mode is already unchecked then first check then uncheck them.
If you have a library project included, make sure the library has the dependencies in build.gradle listed using the api configuration, not the implementation configuration.
Also make sure that the project that includes the library has all the dependencies listed (using the implementation configuration is fine here).
'The file size (2561270 bytes) exceeds configured limit (2560000 bytes). Code insight features are not available.'
Had this issue for days with none of these proposed solutions working before eventually getting this message in yellow under the tabs after adding a line of code. Removing the line of code eliminated the message but not the issue. There appears to be a code size window where you lose insight features but don't get this message, at least for me. Once you go over a certain point the message finally pops up. The suggested solution in a different thread for this issue was to edit 'Help/Edit Custom Properties' to increase the configured limit, but just opening this brought up a dialogue asking if I wanted to create an 'idea.properties' folder so I decided not to risk that approach over eventually cutting the file size.
If sometimes this problem can occur if you misspelled a file extension or make a file without adding an extension.
Check you have added the file extension correctly.
I think that answer may help you.
I'm using mac and suddenly the code completion (^space) not working. There are no errors. Turned out the android studio's shortcut was conflicted with system's shortcut. I don't know why it suddenly happen because it was fine before, maybe there was an update on my Mac.
See below setting for the conflicting shortcut
In my case, C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3\ just delete caches folder and restart android studio. after deleting this caches folder my problem was solved :)
I encounter with this problem while adding a kotlin library into my project on mac. Changing macbook language to english solved this problem. I also had some weird problems with auto-generated databinding codes, those are also solved.
Try Invalidate caches/Restart from File in Menu Bar from android studio.
Close Android Studio
Go to
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.android
and rename the following folder to:
build-cache to build-cache_old
then Go to (Android studio lower then version 4)
C:\Users\UserName.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (Android studio 4 and Higher) Go to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
or
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2021.2
depending on your version and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old (if exists)
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old (if exists)
Open Android Studio again and the autosuggsion will be fixed.
and You can also check if Power Save Mode is disabled or not from the File menu.
I wass looking for quite some time now how I could see the file type icon of each file I have opened in visual studio 2012 tab well, like it was shown on previous versions of visual studio. This was completely removed from vs 12, couldn't find any option enabling this. This is something extemely usefull when having many open files.
I found that this option exists on the registry!
So you go here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\DialogPage\Microsoft.CustomDocWell.Options
and change the IconInTabs property from false to True!
File type icons are displayed again next to each tab!!!!
Edit: In order for this to work you must have installed Productivity Power Tools 2012 plugin
Does anyone know how to fix this, besides pressing esc then typing the variable name again?
JetBrains ReSharper 6.1 C# Edition

Visual Studio 10.0.30319.1.
You may want to try changing the IntelliSense option:
Whether you're using IntelliSense ReSharper or Visual Studio, try changing it, then changing it back. I've sometimes had similar issues and toggling the option can help.
Usually restart of Visual Studio tends to re-enable intellisense, I'd much rather a proper fix from JetBrains.
For me, R# intellisense stopped working after installing (and then uninstalling) certain R# extensions. Adding the extensions back fixed the problem.
Edit 1:
Also, try playing with the R# IntelliSense options and see what happens.
In particular switch "Options | Environment | IntelliSense | Completion Appearance | Display completion items in:" from "Visual Studio IntelliSense font" to "Text Editor font" and back.
In the end I tried many things (including upgrading and downgrading R#) over and over again until R# IntelliSense was back.
I had this issue, and I hadn't realized I had opened a project in Folder view mode. Resharper Intellisense won't show unless you switch to a solution view.
Make sure you select a solution instead of a Folder view:
Okay, the lack of color on VS2012 is gross.
Is there someplace I can get a theme pack or something for it so that it actually looks reasonable? I really liked the look of VS2010. However, the new one reminds me way too much of 1984.
While we are at it, is there anyway to have it stop shouting at me? ALL CAPS menus are pretty hard to read. [ note: caps was resolved, thanks Konamiman]
Yes, luckily you can revert the Visual Studio 2012 ALL CAPS menus to normal menus by hacking the registry:
Launch regedit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\General
Create a DWORD value named SuppressUppercaseConversion with value 1.
NOTE: As explained in the answer pointed by Yahoo Serious, the VisualStudio part on the registry key name should be changed to VSWinExpress for Visual Studio Express, and to VWDExpress for Visual Studio Express for Web.
UPDATE:
I have applied this hack in another machine and at first it did not work. It turned out that I had selected the key name from this response by double clicking it, then copied it, then pasted it in regedit. Well, by doing so I had inadvertently created the key with a trailing space in the name! And hence it did not work.
So, if you apply this hack and it seems to not work, ensure that there are no trailing spaces in the key name.
New Theme editor Specifically for 2012:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05
Comes w/ VS 2010 style blue and a few others...
Here is a shot of my VS2012 install that almost looks like the familiar 2010 we are all used to. It makes me feel normal again!
Here is exactly how I did this, step-by-step:
1) Close all instances of Visual Studio
2) Download vsip and extract it to a temp directory. (as of 1/3/2013 the current version is 1.5.2)
3) Open up a command prompt with "Run as administrator"
4) Go to the temp directory and run VSIP.exe - This will run an interactive program that accepts commands.
4a) Type "backup --version=2012" - This will backup all of your VS2012 UI dlls, just in case something gets messed up and you want to uninstall VSIP.
4b) Type "extract" - This will extract all of the old icons from your installation of VS2010 (per VS2010 license VSIP can not distribute those icons so we have to have a local install to pull them from).
4c) Type "inject" - This will inject all of the old 2010 icons from the previous step into the VS2012 DLLs.
4d) Type "menus -n" - This will change the menus so they are NOT ALL CAPITALIZED!
5) Download and install NiceVS - do not download the one dated 10/14 or you will be missing icons. As of 1/3/2013 I downloaded the file named "NiceVS.0.8.1.1 Beta.Full.vsix".
6) Download and install VS2012 Color Theme Editor - The next time you start VS2012 select the "Blue" theme from the color select window.
Now you should have a nice install of VS2012 that looks like my screen shot above! It takes three different applications to patch that hideous UI but it's certainly workable now! If you don't have VS2010 installed on the same machine as VS2012 then you will have to run 4b on a machine with VS2010 and then copy the VSIP Images directory to your 2012 development machine.
Update: If you install "VS 2012 Update 1" after running these steps you will need to re-run step 4c from the VSIP admin prompt (or all of step 4 if you didn't keep the extract of the VS2010 images). The file menu icons and color scheme stay as they are but the update reverts the icons in the solution explorer back to the ugly ones. Re-running the VSIP inject fixes it right up!
I feel your pain, and have been checking daily for a solution. I've now discovered this site, which includes a theme editor, as well as drumroll a VS2010 theme for VS2012!

Edit - I just noticed that Brian Chavez already posted the same link as me. However, I don't think it included a premade 2010 theme until today.
Edit 2 - Another theme editor - http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05

The themes for 2010 work for 2012 as well
This extension was just released a couple of days ago:
Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor
If you want to change the VS shell environment themes in Visual Studio 2012, try this utility:
Modify Visual Studio 2012 Dark (and Light) Themes
Source Code
The quick option to look is VSColorOutput extension for VS2012. Just look at Tools->Extensions and NUGet package will help you to locate it asap.
Another option would be downloading and Visual Studio Color Schemes. http://studiostyles.info/ . Here is a link to Scott Gu's blog which describes how to apply your preferred schema.
