Ran into this tonight. The other day I updated to Visual Studio 2010 SP1, and my IntelliSense in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2008 R2 stopped working.
I updated by SQL 2008 R2 install to CU6 and the IntelliSense started working again.
Tag: Intellisense
Since we recently upgraded to SQL 2008, now I have some small tidbits that I can share! First one is this: Intellisense updating.
In SQL 2008, it has built in Intellisense, pretty awesome. Until you add new objects, then everything is red underlined. What to do?
Well if you are writing some T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and run into this issue for newly created objects, just use this command
CTRL+SHIFT+R
and you are all set, the local Intellisense cache will be rebuilt and your new tables/procs/whatever will show up in Intellisense, cool!
