Where is the NCB Visual Studio file located?

Question

I have a suspicion that my Visual Studio Intellisense has stopped working. I read that this may be causing the NCB file to be damaged and needs to be deleted. I searched the NCB file on my computer, but no search results appeared. Where can I manually find this file?

Answer 1

If you have one: it must be in the same directory as your solution file (.sln) with the same base name.

If your solution is C:\projects\acme.sln , then it should be C:\projects\acme.ncb .

But: Starting with Visual Studio 2010, it no longer uses the .ncb system. Instead, it creates a file with the extension .sdf.

So you should probably look for C:\projects\acme.sdf .

See IntelliSense / Viewing Options in VC ++ 2010 for more details.
