IntelliSense is incomplete in some cases

Question

There may be other cases, but this is the first I have seen.

System.Resources.ResourceManager missing the IntelliSense part. For example, GetString missing. Entering GetString( will not give IntelliSense. GetString( over it displays information.

Things I tried:

• Restart Visual Studio
• Reset all environment settings
• Delete %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ReflectedSchemas
• Run devenv /resetuserdata

Is there anything else I can try?

Answer 1

This is not a mistake, and IntelliSense displays what you requested.

You need to create an instance of ResourceManager to get methods like GetString or GetObject, because these are instance methods.

You are currently accessing the ResourceManager class, and therefore IntelliSense only displays static elements.
