Nov 20, 2012 - I recently upgraded my home PC from Visual Studio 2010 and 11 Beta to. 10 minutes of programming my Intellisense quit working and never came back. Now restart Visual Studio 2012 and you should be good to go!

I've noticed that the auto complete feature in no longer works properly once my project has reached a certain size (in my case 4,100 lines of code). I've also noticed that performance also degrades once the number of third-party libraries increases (namespaces and class attributes and methods are no longer visible). Is there a way of manually updating the auto completion database or create a new one for an existing project? I am currently working under, but I have experienced this issue in as well. Close Visual Studio and navigate to your project folder. The.sdf file there contains the intellisense database- if you delete this files and reopen your project in visual studio, it rebuilds the cache.
Deleting the sdf file solved the problem for me. Sometimes working with a big solution (mainly C projects) becomes unbearably slow. To fix it you need to close the solution and go delete the.SDF file.
After that it returns to normal again, for about a week, or so until you need to do it again. The underlying cause is that the SDF file gets fragmented and, according to xperf profiling I've done, VS will sometimes do 20,000+ random reads from it when changing between debug and release. Putting the SDF files on an SSD fixes the problem but should not be necessary. VS needs to use the SDF file more efficiently and not do blocking SDF operations, ever.

Have you ever faced situation where you have just created or modified object but SSMS still shows the error. I quite often face this situation where I come across situation where my SSMS Intellisense Cache is not refreshed or updated. This is indeed very frustrating when you are presenting something on stage as the red underline means an error in graved in many people’s minds and it is hard for them to believe when the code with underline runs successfully.
Here is image of the recent situation. Where I had just dropped index but SSMS Intellisense was still showing that the index exists. When I face this kind of situation, without wasting time I immediately do following: CTRL + SHIFT + R. This will clear the cache of the Intellisense and it removes the underline from the word. You can also refresh the Intellisense cache by using Edit - Intellisense - Refresh Local Cache.
Here is another question back to you – do you use SSMS Intellisense or any other tool? Reference: Pinal Dave. Pinal Dave is a SQL Server Performance Tuning Expert and an independent consultant.
