Any idea why I'm not getting any documentation to go along with my ReSharper IntelliSense? If I go to the ReSharper options and enable the Visual Studio IntelliSense instead, I get the proper documentation when going through the members in the IntelliSense pop up. If I re-enable the ReSharper IntelliSense, I now get the ReSharper IntelliSense pop up sans documentation.

Go to ReSharper | Options -> Environment | IntelliSense | Completion Appearance. Check Show member signatures and Show summary.

7Why on earth would this be off by default? Is there any downside to enabling it (like slower performance)? – Nikola Radosavljević Sep 03 '13 at 13:10

2All the performance penalty in the world wouldn't convince me to disable the documentation! – joneberg Sep 09 '13 at 14:19

@joneberg this is because a lot of people complaining that documentation often eats a lot of screen space and hides a lot of code so they are losing context and forced to press `Esc` to often. – controlflow Oct 31 '13 at 00:48

If someone from JetBrains ReSharper team is reading this - please turn these on by default! – nightcoder Nov 03 '13 at 21:03

This does not work for me. Switching to Visual Studio intellisense does so its definitely a problem with Resharper. – rism Nov 05 '13 at 22:02

1Did you ever resolve this? I am having the same problem, but following the above does not solve it. – melodiouscode Nov 30 '13 at 07:42

For those who, like me, tried the solution provided above and it didn't work. I found this article and it did the trick for me.
Go to Tools - Options - Text Editor - C# (or all Languages, or whatever you need).
In the general section, the options Auto list Members and Parameter information must be enabled. (I suppose only Parameter Information would be fine to, but i enabled the other one anyway as its a nice feature).

This way you turn on Visual Studio builtin intellisense, not ReSharper one. And if you have ReSharper installed and have both Visual Studio and ReSharper intellisense turned on, you would really have battle of intellisenses. – Dmitry Osinovskiy Dec 20 '13 at 17:15

I see your point, but it only turns on this single specific feature of vs's intellisense, I have no problems so far. – nozzleman Dec 21 '13 at 13:11

No, it turns on the whole VS intellisense, not a "single specific feature" – Dmitry Osinovskiy Dec 21 '13 at 19:50

1i tried this and the above answer and (still) did not work. So unfortunately I will have to deal with it :) – Stefan Hendriks Aug 30 '16 at 12:48
