The OP did mention that it was a C# project. In VS 2K3 I have observed that
all the "intelli*" features get all wigged out when I have some subtle
syntax issue, like a missing ; or forget to "using" some namespace.

Also, another C# issue I have seen is that the blue wavy line that appears
during a build attempt underscoring some problem code, doesn't disappear
when I fix the code, until I do a rebuild.

Each time I have seen this behavior, tracking down and fixing my code error
causes the IDE to resume its normal helpful style.

I just thought I would point that out, in case that's what's happening in
the OP. But I DO really wish the IDE would not do things like that for a
subtle syntax issue.
