None of the solutions worked for me  I noticed that the problem was only occuring in one xaml file  and not in other xaml or c  files   I had an extension called QuickConverter that allows to create custom bindings with in-line converters  This was messing up with Intellisense and this was not detected as an error while building or running the app   My advice is    Check if Intellisense stops working in all files or just a particular one If it s just one file  look for red or blue squiggly lines and you will find the culprit

In my case  csproj file got corrupted and Visual Studio excluded some class files from the solution  But they were still visible in Visual Studio so the issue wasn t obvious at first sight   In these files intellisense was not available  So the fix was to add the files back to the solution

It got frustrating for me as well but I figured out my own answer   Restarting did help but I found why I ran into trouble  I d copied and pasted an ASP Panel with controls I d need to re-use   I only had those in the first Div tag working   All others needed to be set up  so I said  Aha     let me comment out the remaining Div Tags that aren t set up      and sure enough  intellisense came right back on   So not only will it fail to work if the cursor is below a code error but it can fail to work if you re a copy   paste type like me

The basic idea here is to force a resync of the database Intellisense is using    If the reference is to a project within your solution  Remove the project  Then add the reference using browse option from the exact path of the project you just removed  Do a quick build and check to ensure reference is picked up correctly  Now add the old project back to the solution and remove the old reference and add it as part of the solution    This idea of forcing the resync of the database could also be done in other ways too  For example by using an absolute folder path

Generally I face the same problem when I copy some snippets from internet with some special chars that breaks the Intellisense   It happened a few times with me  I discovered the problem after deleting the file and creating a new one  now when I face the same problem  fist I restart the Visual Studio  if this doesn t resolve the problem  I remove the last snippet I copied from internet and do it by hand  them the problem is gone

I ve just had this happen to me - and  while it was not instantly obvious  it was due to Resharper  R   being disabled during a licensing issue   Enabling Resharper fixed this for me

I occasionally encountered the same problem as the OP   Unfortunately  none of the above solutions works for me  -- I also searched from internet for other possible solutions  including Microsoft s VS windows forum  and did not find an answer   But when I closed the VS solution  there was a message asking me to download and install  Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4 0   per this hint I finally fixed the problem   I hope this finding is of any help to others who may get the same issue
