IntelliSense incomplete in some cases

Question

There may be other cases, but this is the first one that I've seen.

System.Resources.ResourceManager is missing a part of the IntelliSense. For example, GetString is missing. Typing GetString( won't give IntelliSense. Hovering over it shows information.

Things I've tried:

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

Is there anything else I can try?

Answer 1

This is not a bug and IntelliSense displays what you requested.

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

Currently you access the class ResourceManager and therefore IntelliSense only lists the static members.
