Visual Studio not suggesting references any more

Visual Studio 2015 not suggesting to include references when adding new type. For example, in the attached image, XmlDocument is not recognized and I have to include the proper reference manually (add using System.XmlDocument;) although the assembly (dll file) is added as reference. But, usually, VS provides a list of suggestions to include a reference or create new type.

How can I enable back this feature?

Press CTRL + . which means (dot) over the word XmlDocument to get it.

You should clear your Visual Studio temp files - it can often get confused about project structures and require a fresh start.

First, quit out of VS completely and restart it. If the problem is still there, find your VS cache folder and delete it, and then do a rebuild.

You can try to clear the MEF Component Cache. The component cache is located at %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache.
Use this extension or delete the cache manually.
