  1. Change the file extension to ".txt "
  2. Edit without intellisense.
  3. Change file extension back to what it was.

In case you are using ReSharper the way to disable IntelliSense is as following: ReSharper > Options... > Environment > IntelliSense > Autopopup > Enable Automatic IntelliSense Popup > Uncheck > Save > Profit.

This also works in Visual Studio 2012 for C#.

For C/C++: Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable IntelliSense.

Update: This also works with VS2012.

It's actually easy for most languages:

Select Tools/Options on the menu. On the Options dialog box, select Text Editor, then select the language you use, then select "General". Uncheck "Auto list members" and "Parameter completion".

Works on VS 2012, 2010, and others, and seems to be available for most languages including C#, Basic, and C/C++.

Microsoft doesn’t provide any way to disable Intellisense. This wouldn’t be a problem, except Intellisense can and does crash.

To disable Intellisense, close Visual Studio and navigate to your vcpackages folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcpackages

Rename the file feacp.dll to something like foulup.dll. Now Visual Studio won’t be able to load Intellisense, but rather than crash it will just quietly drop its features.

or

Simplest way I can think of: change the file extension association so that *.cs files open in a plaintext document window, not the C# editor. Repeat for other extensions as desired.
