VSCode's IntelliCode and/or CSharp extension does not work. I try to stop in the middle of writing something like Console. or System., and nothing comes up. It works for literally every other language except C#.
What's happening, and how can I fix it?
Thanks!
Cheers!

The C# language server in VS Code is just kinda poopy. Try restarting OmniSharp via the command palette.
Also VS is kinda bad in many ways as MS focuses on delivery so users can do the QA and report back. Don't be shy to report bugs. I got really angry with Azure and Windows but they fixed some bugs in short time
I have reported.
How do I do that?
CMD/CTRL+Shift+P to bring up the command palette, then search for OmniSharp, one of the commands should be to restart it.
It didn't work, sadly.
Anything else I can do (or worse case, any other IDEs I can use)?
If you have a student (.edu) email address, you can get JetBrains Rider for free, that IDE is really incredible, everything just works amazingly right out of the box.
I don't, sadly. And I can't really shell out money, since I have no online currency buffer, nor do I have money to spend.
Any free IDEs I could use?
Only free option I know of is Visual Studio. Be warned, though, while it works and will give you IntelliSense, I personally find it really difficult to find things in the UI, I find it to be pretty slow, and I find the default keyboard shortcut mappings to be garbage.
So, does this mean I'm (almost) shit out of luck here?
Until the Language Server implementation for C# gets better, unfortunately I think so. Visual Studio works okay, I just personally dislike it.
Okay. I'll try to do some looking myself. But thank you for your help.
He’s asking about VS Code, not Visual Studio.
Oh, my bad.
Have you checked that you have a
.slnfile that is aware of the.csprojyou are working with? This has caught me out a couple of timesSorry, I don't fully understand. What's a
slnfile? Why does it need to know about my projwct? And how does that help VSC?Have you created a dotnet project for your C# file? My understanding is that omnisharp looks for a
.slnfile to decide what files that add intellisense to.A
.slnfile is a dotnet file that references a.csprojfiles.I have, but it never generated thst file. And why would I have multiple CSPs?
