Dear all,

I just entered the Visual Micro world because of the advantages of getting Intellisense support.

In general building, downloading and even debugging is working great.
But the feature I've been panting for doesn't work.

Whenever I'm changing a setting or  compiling the project I#m getting the messages from as in the pictures attached.

I did test this with Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 Community.

After searching the web I'm hoping to get some help here.
(Maybe I something did wrong, but I found only tons of related topics only applicable for Visual Studio Code)

I'm looking forward to your answers!

Regards
Marcel

Hi it is possible you have inadvertently used the "Open Folder" feature in Visual Studio. It is a new feature that is only partially supported by Visual Micro but also does not offer the majority of functionality provided by the standard visual studio project and solution system.

You are seeing an intellisense issue.

Please close the folder or the ide, then restart. In Vs2019 you can click the link to proceed to empty ide.

In an empty ide click "File>Open>Arduino Project". This will allow you to select an existing Arduino sketch and Visual Micro will then create and open a Visual Studio project showing all the sources from the sketch. In future you can then open the project using any of the standard visual studio file>open>project features or again use File>Ope>Arduino Project.

I suggest you follow the first steps guide in our documentation to see various ways to create or open arduino sketches/projects. It is a simple system that also keeps your arduno code working as normal.

If you have continued issues, your verbose output confirms build OK and that you are reporting an intellisense issue. Please show screen shot of IDE with solution and code file open.

Oh I see sorry that suggests the C++ in Visual Studio is not installed properly. The ms extension system does attempt to auto install c++ if missing so I am surprised it's a problem.

Please ensure c++ is installed in your iDE's and confirm if you have used "File>New>Arduino Project" or "File>New>Project>C++/Visual Micro" to create your project.  Also test with a new project so that you have tried both routes.

This isn't a problem I have heard of before so might also be related to another extension you have installed (but i am guessing)

The c++ compiler (platform) for intellisense should be auto specified in the project properties that you see when right clicking > properties of a project in the solution explorer. What is it set to?
