FIX: The IntelliSense feature stops working when you add rows to a table in Visual Studio .NET 2003 (839476)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Enterprise Architect Edition
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Enterprise Developer Edition
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Academic Edition

SYMPTOMS

In the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 IDE, the Microsoft IntelliSense feature stops working for classes that the XML Schema Designer generated.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because a bug exists in the IntelliSense feature of the IDE. After the XML Schema Designer generates the class, if you continue to add rows to a table definition in the XML Schema Designer, the IntelliSense data for that class becomes corrupted.
