When using the C# 1.17.1 Visual Studio Code extension, I didn’t get correct IntelliSense for C# files.
There was a problem with Omnisharp. It outputted the error found below.
I also had Visual Studio Community 2017 installed and the Visual Studio Build Tools.
After uninstalling the Visual Studio Build Tools. Visual Studio Code asked me to install necessary build tools, after clicking “Yes” to install, the problem was fixed.
Error
Omnisharp error in VSCode: Could not load SDK Resolver. A manifest file exists, but the path to the SDK Resolver DLL file could not be found.
