Hi,

I'm running into problems with VAX using C++/CLI assemblies and suggestion lists.

Try this in Visual Studio:

File > New Project. Select Visual C++, CLR, CLR Console Application. Name = "VAXTest"

Build Project for fun -- Success.

In Soltion Exploer, bring up the Project Properties. Select Common Properties, Add New Reference...
Add references WPF assemblies: PresentationCore, PresentationFramework and WindowsBase.
(Ignore that I'm referencing WPF in a Console app - this is just a demonstration and does not matter).

In VAXTest.cpp use a WPF namspace:

using namespace System::Windows;

For fun: Build Project -- Success.

In main() type

Window^ w = gcnew Window();
w->

Press Ctrl+Space -- No completion list shows. ugh.

Now delete those lines and type this:

System::Windows::Window^ w2 = gcnew System::Windows::Window();
w2->

Press Ctrl+Space and a completion list will usually show. This is the list I need to see in the first usage since have using namespace in our code.


Here's the full VAXTest.cpp I end up with:
-------------------------------------------
// VAXTest.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
// FAILS
Window^ w = gcnew Window();
w->

// WORKS (Sometimes)
System::Windows::Window^ w2 = gcnew System::Windows::Window();
w2->

Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");
return 0;
}
---------------------------------------------

Even this "working" w2 case can stop working and offer no suggestion list. For example, I reworked the code a bit to add those // WORKS and // FAILS commands and Ctrl+Space stopped working for w2. Even if I delete the fails case so that it's legit code it can still stop working.

My Info:

- Beta build 10.5.1727.0 But it's nothing new to this build..been happening for a many versions.
- Get content from default intellisense is OFF. No change if I turn it ON.
- Reparse Current file doesn't help.
- I have all the coloring I can turned on. It's interesting that "w" shows in light gray italics but is not bolded. Even though I have "Local symbols in Bold" and "Stable symbols in Italic" ON. Turning them OFF doesn't affect the suggestion list any.

Do you have any change in behavior if you close the solution and then re-open it?

Indeed, the suggeston lists start working again after I re-open the project.

Our product solution is so large that I rarely reload during the day so I seem to hit this frequently.

Is there anything I can do to trigger the same update somehow without needing the project re-load? Is it adding the reference that causes the problem or using the namespace? Our set of references hasn't changed in a long time so I think it must be adding the 'using namespace' which is the trouble.

I recently came across a bug that seems related to the problem you are seeing. It will be fixed in the next release cycle. The problem is that references added to a project are not handled properly until you re-load the solution. case=28209

I'm not sure why you are seeing intermittent success/failure before the reload though.
