'Go To Definition' greyed out in VS2013

I just installed Visual Studio 2013 on 2 machines. When I open the same project on both machines and open the same codebehind, if I right click a method call, 'Go To Definition' is greyed out on one machine but not the other. This is for any method call in a referenced assembly. Methods in the current code behind work fine. The machine it doesn't work on is a clean build.

Did I miss installing something?

Closing all of the open files in Visual Studio and opening them again from the Solution Explorer fixed it for me.

Keep in mind you also need the microsoft sql server compact 4.0 for intellisense to work.

I did face it once before. Steps I followed after which it started to work for me:

  1. Right Click on solution and run "Clean Solution".
  2. Right Click on Solution and run "Rebuild Solution".

Same issue. I simply right-clicked the project and performed an Unload Project. Reloaded it, and Go To Definition is working again.

I have face this issue while upgrading from vs 2012 to vs 2013. when you open the vs.2012 to solution into the 2013 then go to definition was not working.

I have solved it by creating new project in the vs.net 2013 and added all the objects back to the solutions. it is working without any issues now.
