Visual Studio 2003 and Intellisense

I just wasted 20 minutes trying to solve a stupid problem, so I thought I'd share the solution in case anyone else runs across it.

Apparently, it is possibly to randomly lose "Intellisense" in Visual Studio .NET 2003. (Intellisense is the little tips that pop up to describe parameters, functions, classes, etc.). It is VERY painful to not have it, as then everything has to be looked up manually. One would think that deleting the project ".ncb" file would fix the problem, but it didn't for me (the ncb file stores the intellisense information for your project). All that I did was close every file in the solution, and then open them back up and intellisense was back.

Talk about a stupid solution for a stupid problem. I hope this is fixed in Visual Studio 2005, I haven't used it enough yet to have this problem.
