Using your test project I did the following test:
* I removed boost from the stable include directories list, rebuild VA's symbol database, and made sure that I got the wrong suggestion for the iterator
* I then set the C++ additional include directories (properties on the project VAXTest) to C:\\boost\\boost_1_33_1

* I restarted VS2005, to make sure that VA found this change to the project
* I tried typing -> after "it" and "(*it)", "foo()" was suggested in both cases

Do you have several additional include directories set? If so I am wondering if somehow this is confusing VA. When I went into the project properties I noticed that the additional include directories were set to "D:\\R83-Checkout\\bif\\install\\inc", where the path was wrapped in double quotes. I changed this to C:\\boost\\boost_1_33_1, note no double quotes.

I have the files, thank you for those.

If you add boost to the IDE's include directories: http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/directories.asp
do you still see this problem?

I had to change the code slightly to get it to compile:

void myFunc(void) {
    bar::MySet mySet;

    bar::MyClass myClass;

    myClass.foo(); /* correct suggesion */

    for (bar::MySet::iterator it = mySet.begin(); it != mySet.end(); ++it) {
        (*it)->foo();  /* foo is not suggested */
    }
}

having done that I get "foo" suggested on "myClass." , "it->" and "(*it)->"

What happens when you make the same change on your system?

void myFunc(void) {
    bar::MySet mySet;

    bar::MyClass myClass;

    myClass.foo(); /* correct suggesion */

    for (bar::MySet::iterator it = mySet.begin(); it != mySet.end(); ++it) {
        (*it)->foo();  /* foo is not suggested */
    }
}

That is a little odd. Changing the code to read:

#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <set>

class MyClass {
	void foo();
};
typedef boost::shared_ptr<MyClass> MyPtr;
typedef std::set<MyPtr> MySet;

static void testUsingTypedefBoostSharedPtr()
{
	MySet myContainer;
	for (MySet::iterator it = myContainer.begin(); it != myContainer.end(); ++it) {
		(*it)->|;
	}
}

so that it will compile, at this point I am seeing the single item "foo()" in the listbox.

If you use this code what result do you get?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <set>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>


namespace bar {
    class MyClass;

    typedef boost::shared_ptr<MyClass> MyPtr;
    typedef std::set<MyPtr> MySet;
}

namespace bar {
    class MyClass {
    public:
        void foo(void) { }
    };
}

void myFunc(void) {
    bar::MySet mySet;

    MyClass myClass;

    myClass.foo(); /* correct suggesion */

    for (bar::MySet::iterator it = mySet.begin(); it != mySet.end(); ++it) {
        (*it)->foo();  /* foo is not suggested */
    }
}

Does VA know about boost::shared_ptr? If you place the caret into the filename in the:

#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>

line does VA show you the full path for this file in the definition field at the top of the editor?

Do you have:

VA Options -> Advanced -> listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense

turned on? It is turned off for my tests.
