I noticed a strange behaviour in my VS2012 installation. I use VS2012 Pro and ReSharper 7. Intellisense is just not showing code suggestions anymore. I found a few related questions in my research but they always had a slightly different setup going and none could solve my problem:
Intellisense is working but, it's not showing the tooltip about selected member functions/Properties anymore.
If I take a look at the C# Text Editor Settings in
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> General
Most of the times the two necessary boxes Auto List Members and Parameter Information are selected. However, code suggestions in Intellisense don't work. Sometimes, when I look at the described settings, they are unselected.
Selecting them will make code suggestions work as in VS2010 but, only once. When I check the settings afterwards, they are most likely still selected, but code suggestions are not working anymore.
Some people suggested deleting the %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0 Folder, which did not work for me. I also tried to reset all changes, which also didn't help at all.
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset
What in the world could make Visual Studio to just forget its settings and trigger such an irrational behavior?
-edit-
I display the code suggestions by pressing CTRL+Alt+Space. However, I have to press that shortcut every time I want to see the suggestions. It has to be possible to automatically display them every time, when possible?
I was having a similar problem, but I kept overlooking one small ReSharper Intellisense setting. I would double check that you have Symbol completion on in
ReSharper | Options | Intellisense | Completion Characters
Check out the answer with screenshots.
Thanks for all the tips, I figured out what I had missing:
I had to enable "Completion Appearance" -> "Show Summary".
I also accepted Anthonys answer because he linked to a detailed post with screenshots that shows all steps necessary. (Although the thing I had missing is not mentioned there)
ReSharper uses it's own code suggestions that override Visual Studio ones, that could be the reason why the ones in the Visual Studio settings may be disabled. Please check ReSharper options at ReSharper -> Options -> Environment -> IntelliSense. Maybe they are turned off there. If your ReSharper options are turned on but you still have no intellisense, then please ReSharper's support at http://www.jetbrains.com/support/

I often see that some of the ReSharper functionality just doesn't work until you restart VS and reopen the project. But this situation I have now is consistent across restarts. So I am using a Go To Everything fuctionality often. It is enabled in ReSharper settings.
But since yesterday Go To Everything (Ctrl + N for me) can't find most of the files in the project (though it can find some).
Here is a screenshot of the problem:
I have that file open in editor just to prove that it's there. I show it found in an open solution in file tree. But ReSharper doesn't seem to be able to find it.
What to I do to troubleshoot. Thanks you in advance.
The best thing to do here is to raise an issue with JetBrains. Either log a bug with the issue tracker, or email resharper-support#jetbrains.com. Include details about what version of ReSharper you're using, what type of projects you're using, version of Visual Studio, etc.
However, from that screenshot, it looks like ReSharper isn't configured to analyse that file - there's no "green tick" in the scrollbar. Is ReSharper disabled? Is that file excluded from analysis? (Mind you, even when it's excluded, it should still show up in go to results. Something odd is happening here, support should be able to help better than StackOverflow)
as stated in the questions title, we have an issue with VS2012. The problem is that sometimes suddenly some keyboard-input in VS isn't executed properly, if at all.
When the problem occurs, we are only able to type in characters and numbers, but neither are we able to delete them (backspace or DEL), nor to use the arrow key to jump up down a line or to the next/previous character. Overwriting a text which has been marked with the mouse is working.
I have found a very similar Question but the hints stated there doesn't work here. Those are:
Hitting Alt+Enter
Closing and Reopening Editor Windows
Closing the ToolboxWindow
Restarting VS
Pressing ScollLock
The Problem seems to be related to the Stylecop-AddIn. After uninstalling it, the issue doesn't come up anymore. Is there some known workaround? Thanks in advance!
Apparently StyleCop can be used with out Resharper, I didn't know. Very sorry. However, if you look at the documentation for StyleCop, if you right click on your project, click Source Analysis Settings, you will be presented with a dialog to turn on or off all of StyleCops rules.
Here is a link to the actual documentation which has images which helps describe it. StyleCop Settings
is it possible to only enable resharper for javascript and css files? I don't want it inspecting my c# files as it's driving me nuts with it's styling and and at times somewhat controversial recommendations. I haven't got time to set each individual setting, I'm just looking for a "don't inspect c# files" check box, if there isn't one I think my resharper trial will be officially over.
If you really want to disable ReSharper for C#, try going to ReSharper | Options -> Code Inspection | Settings -> Edit Items to Skip and add a file mask to skip *.cs.
But better way would be to disable those ReSharper warnings that you don't like. To do this, click Alt-Enter on the suggestion that you don't like, go to Options submenu, select Configure inspection severity and then Do not show. This is for ReSharper 8.0, in 7.1 it should be pretty similar.
Any idea why I'm not getting any documentation to go along with my ReSharper IntelliSense? If I go to the ReSharper options and enable the Visual Studio IntelliSense instead, I get the proper documentation when going through the members in the IntelliSense pop up. If I re-enable the ReSharper IntelliSense, I now get the ReSharper IntelliSense pop up sans documentation.
Go to ReSharper | Options -> Environment | IntelliSense | Completion Appearance. Check Show member signatures and Show summary.
For those who, like me, tried the solution provided above and it didn't work. I found this article and it did the trick for me.
Go to Tools - Options - Text Editor - C# (or all Languages, or whatever you need).
In the general section, the options Auto list Members and Parameter information must be enabled. (I suppose only Parameter Information would be fine to, but i enabled the other one anyway as its a nice feature).
Does anyone know how to fix this, besides pressing esc then typing the variable name again?
JetBrains ReSharper 6.1 C# Edition

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:
