Intellisense is lost for outside classes in Visual Studio

I have a file of a user control but it's not in a project, It's just read by a webpart in sharepoint and I was editing it but suddenly the AutoComplete for classes and variables like controls, SQL .. were gone. Only the common keywords are available like if, int, while ... How can I get them back?

When you just have a single file, I believe Visual Studio just opens it in the code editor, and not the IDE/Compiler. The editor is just syntax highlighting basically, though you do have the drop downs available to navigate subclasses and methods. As when you're dealing with projects, it does use the IDE/Compiler, so Intellisense is available as well as full editor/ide features for that language.

Create a new empy ASP.NET Website and then add existing item and choose this user control.
