I converted my project to use the new Intellisense System,but I got this message:

Tip: Your Project is using the old Visual Micro Intellisense System.

I can't see "Arduino" after the project name In the solution explorer.

Everything works fine when I started a new project.   
I did all the updates on VS en VM.

If you look on the vMicro Menu you should see an option "vMicro > Convert Solution To Latest Format (Affects Arduino Project(s) Intellisense Only. Required!)", which when pressed will convert the project.

Documentation: https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Upgraded-Intellisense-System-in-Visual-Micro.as...

If you cannot see this option please confirm which version of Visual Micro you are using from Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed, clicking on "Arduino IDE for Visual Studio" will show the full version number on the right hand side.

Yes, as did mentioned in my message.
I saw the text in the editor flicker a moment while converting,
and when I compared my project files before and after the conversion,
there was a difference.

Thanks for the update, were there any errors shown when performing the conversion?

Is the conversion button still visible on your vMicro Menu?

Can you confirm you are using the very latest version available (2023.09.15.0), which can be seen in Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed, then click on "Arduino IDE for Visual Studio" and the version number is shown on the right hand side.

Once its' definitely up to date can you run the converter again, and attach the output as a text file for us to review?

Can you download and install the latest update from our downloads page below:
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Arduino-Visual-Studio-Downloads.aspx

Also ensure that the vMicro > Compiler > Verbose setting is enabled before trying the conversion again.  There should be some output in the Output > Micro Build window even if verbose is off.

Thanks for the detail, the latest version should give further information and logging once installed about any issue encountered.

I'm assuming you have more than one project in your solution? (a mixture of vMicro and Non-vMicro Projects?)

No, there is no mixture of vMicro and Non-vMicro Projects in my solution.

When I download the latest VM from the website, is this one newer then the one from the extension manager ?

Thanks for clarifying.

The one in Extension Manager is being updated as we speak, and will be the same as the one from the website.

I installed the latest version now : 2023.915.2200

Converted again, restarted, but nothing is changed, same output message after compile:

Tip: Your Project is using the old Visual Micro Intellisense System.

Output from the conversion is also the same.

Is there an other way to see if the conversion worked ? 
maybe only the messages are wrong? and the "Arduino text"

If the conversion messages are identical to before then then it has definitely not converted your project for some reason.

Would it be possible to ZIP and send us your VCXProj and SLN files so we can investigate this further?

Thank you for the quick fix, 
It works fine now, but not right away.

At first the "Arduino" text was visual, but Intellisense was not working.
In the background task files where indexing, so I waited for that.

I restarted my system, and still no Intellisense.
I went to a new project I early on converted en saved that project.
I went back to my newly converted program, and YES Intellisense works. 
Thank you very much, I love Visual Micro  Grin

Thanks for confirming the fix works, we will look to see if we can improve the intellisense refresh after the conversion has completed.
