Intellisense broken after installing CodeRush Devexpress

Question

I've recently installed CodeRush Devexpress, and now VS intellisense doesn't appear whilst I'm typing.

Syntax highlighting also seems to be a little bit screwed, but my main worry is intellisense.

Any suggestions for getting Intellisense back without doing an uninstall of CodeRush?

Update:

In the end, I uninstalled CodeRush, unchecked then rechecked some settings found here, and reverted the .csproj file of the project before the error occurred. Just re-installed and everything seems to be working now.

I'll submit this as a bug to their support later.

Answer 1

This sounds like a bug.

I would raise a support issue at the DevExpress Support Center

This provides you with a method for tracking the progress of said bug.

For the benefit of users of CodeRush Xpress, who might also come across this in the meantime, it should be noted that CodeRush Xpress is also fully supported by DevExpress even though it is free to you.

I further recommend that you post a link to the support issue here so that others who come across this bug can discover the outome.

Answer 2

Does it work again if you temporarily disable CodeRush, e.g. using the /SafeMode command line switch?

Answer 3

In the interim, perhaps try a repair of the CodeRush Install.

Run up the installer again and choose repair.

Answer 4

Maybe you could try to reset your settings by running

Devenv /ResetSettings SettingsFile

You can supply the SettingsFile parameter to restore to some previously saved settings, or you can omit the SettingsFile parameter and all default Visual Studio settings will be restored.
