I have a C# Windows Forms solution with 6 C# projects. This solution was originally imported from VS2008 to VS2010.

For some reason, I do not get any VAX suggestions on only one project. It works fine on all the other projects. In addition, the original solution has no VAX problems on any project with the same build when I bring it up in VS2008.

My VAX is build 10.6.1833.0

Any ideas?

Can you please try rebuilding Visual Assist's symbol databases, on the off chance that it helps?

VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases

Visual Assist parses files that are in your projects. Are both header and cpp files were imported correctly for all project?

What do you see if you open the "Open file in Solution" dialog? (alt+shift+o) Do you see all files that are in your problem project?

If you press alt+shift+s (Find symbol dialog) can you find the symbols of the problem project?

Do you see all files for this project in Solution Explorer?

I'm wondering how far VA gets when trying to understand this specific project.

Do you get member listboxes? Listboxes that appears after you type a dot after an object name. If not, what happens if you press ctrl+space?

Rebuild symbol databases worked! Maybe it would makes sense to you why...seems weird to me.

Answers to questions:
1. This is a pure .Net application...there are no .h/.c/.cpp files
2. alt-shift-o showed all files in all 6 projects
3. alt-shift-s showed symbols in the problem project
4. Solution Explorer & Solution Navigator results looked fine
5. VS-style "member" listboxes came up only after typing the object name exactly right and pressing "."

FYI:
All projects in the solution were originally written with 2003, and therefore do not use "partial" classes for Forms (no xxxxx.Designer.cs files)
No suggestions worked on any .cs file in the project; e.g., I use "rt" for "return(true)". No suggestion was offered.
VS2010 was up a long time (several weeks) with the only restart to update MS Productivity add-on, about a week ago.
I have no idea when the problem started as I had not edited that project since after the last restart.

Thanks for the response.

This is odd. I'm glad it is working now, though. Hope it was a one-off problem

If I understand correctly, this started to happen after the project conversations, and lasted till rebuild has helped?

Just to be clear, it likely happened months after the project conversions. Conversion from VS2003-VS2008 in November, 2007; Conversion to VS2010 in June, 2010.

I thought it was working after the 2nd conversion, but cannot be sure. What I am sure is that I had many normal Windows restarts and nothing changed; and that I upgraded the VAX add-in relatively recently. Only the VAX rebuild fixed it.

I am happy to hope that it was one-off and see if it starts up again. This time I'll try and take better notes to help in the investigation.

Thanks for your excellent support.
