*Words of Wisdom From The Elder

"Breaks" sounds kinda hard and fan-boyish -- it simply "unchecks" the box for Microsoft's limited intellisense -- so you'll have to re-check the box. Why you would uninstall ReSharper is beyond me.

When something works by default and then stops working based on another action I consider that to be broken. Why Resharper would disable default intellisense after being uninstalled is beyond me.

I uninstalled it because A) I don't have a license B) I found the product to be slow and eat up a lot of memory as previously stated.

Sweet, thanks for the excellent tip. One thing is for sure is that we cant live without intellisense... mays well just open up Notepad in that case ;)

Thanks Keith,
Your tips helped me! I was scratching my head for some time before I found this link. I have to say I love a lot of features that ReSharper present, but I had the same performance issues as you did. It's even worse when programming on a laptop, just launch VS takes forever.
I also believe that a professionally designed software should restore the system to its original state after uninstall, but the way some people think "who cares if you uninstalled my product" is beyond me.

DJ,

Wrong! This IS a resharper bug. Broken is the right word. The uninstall should reset any explicit changes it made to my environment.

Thank you!

I've installed ReSharper and after uninstalling the IntelliSense quit working; I've looked through the settings but didn't catch that option. I haven't noticed a big performance penalty, but all the UI bells and whistles we distracting me from the actual code.

Thanks a bunch Keith! As mentioned by someone else, I liked the features ReSharper brought to the table, but man did it kill performance. Once I disabled it in the Addin Manager I found my intellisense was no longer working. Not sure why they'd uncheck these boxes, but thanks for setting my world right again :)

DJ,

"Why you would uninstall ReSharper is beyond me."

And you just called someone else a fanboy. What a raging idiot you must be.

Thank you for posting this, the same thing happened to me - I was going crazy looking for that option. Why there is nothing in that section that says "Intellisense" is beyond me.

Thanks man, just had the exact same problem

"Why you would uninstall ReSharper is beyond me."

I can give you a hint... I uninstalled it because it was painfully slow. PAINFULLY slow.

It helps me a lot :-)
thank u very much.

I concur: painfully slow. My trial period just ended today and I now realize how spoiled I've been. It's a great tool but it became slow where I didn't need it to operate; In the ASPX page. I'd say that's a good enough reason to uninstall. Tell you what though, my code never looked as clean before ReSharper.

Definitely helped. I would have called breaks as well, I think it disables just to force the reinstallation of their tool.

Thanks!

agree with everyone except D.J. Performance is paifully slow. With VS2008, there is no need for resharper.

Thnx a lot!!

Thank You, I'm using VS2008 and i had the same problem after uninstalling resharper. Couldn't find it but this article helps me to correct the problem.

Thanks. I got here by searching for resharper BREAKS intellisense. It broke my instellisense the day it expired, before I uninstalled the product. I suppose if i had purchased the product then it would have fixed what it broke.

It's a huge resource hog. I mean HUGE. Hit Ctrl-Shift-B and then go to lunch.

Thank you thank you thank you! :)
