Code hinting messed up, references missing since last C# extension update.

See original GitHub issue

Environment data

I updated my C# extension

Expected behavior

Work as normal.

Actual behavior

All my code doesn’t seem to correctly code hint anymore – references are not coming up and if I write jibberish, it doesn’t mark it as an error.

In my case, user error. I have a nested solution with src and test folders and didn’t realize I had to set the containing folder in VSCode as the project root (on the status bar). That’s surprisingly unintuitive for somebody new to the IDE. I thought it would pick up the settings from the global.json on it’s own.

I’m having the same issue with .NET Core Project, I get a lot of errors similar to this:

The type or namespace name ‘System’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) [netcoreapp1.0]

I’m running VS Code version: 1.3.1 with C# Extension version: 1.2.2
