That is because the default Intellisense in VisualStudio has a *LOT*
of issues with templates.  I find Visual Assist (an add-on for VS by
WholeTomato) works *SO* much better.  It is not cheap, but it truly
makes Visual Studio incomparable to any other IDE once installed.

No I am not an ad, I just like to mention products I love; Visual
Assist Addon is the one and *only* one reason I primarily program on
Windows, if Linux had any product anywhere near as good, I would
switch in a heartbeat.
