This has been driving me nuts for ages. I've tried to live with it, but I enjoy the autocomplete helping-hand of intellisense too much.

It seems that whenever a web forms control (e.g. Repeater) is inside a html control (e.g. p or div) which is itself inside a web forms control (e.g. Panel) that my intellisense decides the only attribute I could ever want or need is "db" (the tooltip description is "Markup snippet for a data-bind attribute").

For example, this would produce the error (can't include img as I've only just signed up for an account):

<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Repeater ...
    </div>
</asp:Panel>

enter image description here

Compared to this, which would work fine:

<div>
    <div>
        <asp:Repeater ...
    </div>
</div>

enter image description here

Has anyone else come across this issue? Could I perhaps be missing some kind of intellisense option/setting? Or is this more likely something I should bring up with Microsoft itself?

Thanks!

I was having the same problem and came across this. I stumbled across a solution which worked for me by clicking on the Toolbox menu where you would normally go to drag and drop controls onto the designer. When I did that, Visual Studio seemed to load some extensions which had the effect of restoring my intellisense. I hope that works for your problem.

Ok, 3 years later.. xD

All you need to do is: Set a target framework in your web.config:

<compilation targetFramework="4.0" debug="true" defaultLanguage="c#">
  <assemblies>
    ...
  </assemblies>
</compilation>

Try checking your web.config.

In my case, there was a 'runtime' tag asking for some dll's I didnt have in the project references.

Hope it helps.
