I was making an external dll (not Assembly-CSharp) for my game and I found problem. Code:

using UnityEngine;

public class GOObj : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Update()
    {
    }
}

The problem is that the visual studio doesn't show suggestions related to methods like Update, OnGUI or Awake neither autocomplete them or change color of the method name to blue. That happened after updating Visual Studio 2017, how can I fix it?

I have Visual Studio Tools For Unity installed.

Edit: This question is not a duplicate, it isn't miscallenous files.

Is the `Update` method a virtual method contained in the base class (`MonoBehaviour`)? What happens if you start typing `override`? – Rui Jarimba Jul 22 '18 at 12:58

override shows me `GetHashCode()` `ToString()` `Equals(object o)`. Manually typing `override void Update()` is giving me error. I seen the other question but it didn't helped me. – Piotr Krankiewicz Jul 22 '18 at 13:01
Close Unity an VS then reinstall Visual Studio Tools For Unity – Programmer Jul 22 '18 at 13:10
I tried doing that before i posted this question here. – Piotr Krankiewicz Jul 22 '18 at 13:11
You did or tried? If you did then your only option now is restarting computer. If that still doesn't work then uninstall and install Visual Studio then install "Visual Studio Tools For Unity" – Programmer Jul 22 '18 at 13:14
I did also i will do what you're saying me now. – Piotr Krankiewicz Jul 22 '18 at 13:18

Have you checked ALL the answers from the question I posted? – Rui Jarimba Jul 22 '18 at 13:20
Yes, i tried all of them but none helped. Also it's an "external dll" that has reference to UnityEngine.dll – Piotr Krankiewicz Jul 22 '18 at 13:22
Visual Studio finished installing and i restarted computer. The auto completion still isn't working. – Piotr Krankiewicz Jul 22 '18 at 21:12
