  • possible duplicate of No IntelliSense for c++/cli in visual studio 2010? or Intellisense for C++ in VS2010 or Intellisense on C++ (Visual Studio 2010) Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 1:05
  • @Ben i saw them , i was kinda looking for some old work environment like the old borland but with intellisence so i could check my syntax , since i need to write something in C++ and iv'e never done that before. Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 2:43
  • As explained in those other questions, make sure you're not in C++/CLI (.NET mode). Also, for syntax checking, the best thing is just to try to compile. Intellisense is more for context-sensitive auto-completion of variable names. Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 2:53
  • o'k thanks i actually wrote a replay somewhere else stating that i am running a CLR console application . btw -so just to make just there isn't like real intellisence ,like in C# , like if i write "s" in the application i wouldn't be offered the string class or references to other built in classes Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 3:06
  • If you're using C++/CLI, that's important information to include in your questions. Anyway, you could try the new preview of Visual Studio v.Next that's included with the Win8 preview, or VC++ 2008, or you can get a third party plugin like Visual Assist X. But VC++ 2010 does not include Intellisense for C++/CLI projects (already made clear in the other questions). Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 5:20
