My guess is that IntelliSense just doesn't work with templates - whenever I've introduced templates into my code (BOOST or not), IntelliSense becomes UnintelliSense.

I also think this isn't too surprising. Considering the potential complexity of templated code, expecting IntelliSense to handle it well is probably not reasonable - IntelliSense would have to *execute* the entire template metaprogramming subset of C++ "on the fly" to handle template types completely.
