Windows 10: visual studio: find references not working for one variable but works on others

This is VS2013, sorry, but I am working on a project that requires compatibility with Linux


This were going along very good. I used GitHub to clone some copies and built under Linux and also built under win10 using SP5 of vs2013;


Something went wrong. I lost the changes I had made to file "X" so I got a copy from the NFS server. I got a message from VS2013 that I had to normalize line <cr><lf> endings in file "X.cpp" and I allowed it. Maybe that was the problem? I also brought up some sources outside of VS2013 using notepad but I don't recall making changes. I reconstructed all the changes I lost from memory and then discovered a strange problem

In the file "X.cpp" the following two lines of code:``` must_check_work_fetch = false; //line1
last_work_fetch_time = now;`` //line2


I cannot find any reference to the first variable but the second one lists all references just fine. The first line is defined in a include "Y.h" but the second one is defined in "X.h"


the "go to definition" for the first line gets the wrong location as it about 5 lines above where the definition really is .

The second line works fine, "go to definition" gets the exact line.


I tried clean, rebuild, closing and opening solution. Unless there is something I can fix it looks like I will have to re-clone from GitHub.


hmm.. I just went through the "category" and possibly I am posting it the wrong place as I didn't see "programming" let alone Visual Studio. Lemme know if there is a better place

Visual Studio (.NET Framework)

Do you still have the Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager still installed?

If you have it still installed and it opens up correctly, you could try removing all additional packages that are installed, and try reinstalling them again. It could have been a corruption issue relating to package extensions that you may have installed
into Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. If that does not work, go to apps in settings, and select Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and select repair. If that does not work, you could try going to TechNet, and asking there for help. It could be a
bug with the current version of the .NET Framework 48 or with the recent version of Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

If you can not find Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager, unfortunately in this situation the only thing I can think of is if you still have the installation file that you downloaded from the Visual Studio website. If you can't find that, then
I suggest that you download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, since the 2017 Community edition is not given for free anymore unless you have some sort of subscription. However, I suggest that you still check with TechNet before taking this step.

 

Visual Studio 2017 C# File Handling

Compiling a C# program using StreamReader and StreamWriter variables on the command line works fine. On Visual Studio 2017 C# when I try to close() a file, I get an error on the file.close() code. The intelliscense for the StreamReader or StreamWriter
has no listing for CLOSE. The closest I can get is disposing the file.
