I have intellisense weirdness with the normal VS as it is.  VS does
not handle a lot of things well.  If you have some money to burn, the
Visual Studio add-on replaces the normal VS intellisense with a
*VASTLY* better one (in addition to a tremendous host of other
features, beware, it is addictive).
