Visual Studio Not Showing Errors, Intellisense Not Working, And Unity Not Creating An Assembly

[WiggleArms]

I recently got a new computer, but whenever I try to make a new unity project and add some scripts, Intellisense doesn’t work. I go to the project folder in unity and click create > new C# script. when I access the new script, it doesn’t show me the errors in the code, so it takes about 10 times as long to code anything. I’ve been looking for answers for about two days now, and I haven’t found anything. I also noticed that it works fine if accessed from a C# assembly from a unity project, using file explorer, but my new project didn’t create an assembly. If it would create an assembly, it would probably work. If anyone knows the answer to either of these, it would be greatly appreciated. It seems to work properly in other projects… Please Help!

I fixed this problem with clicking on regenerate project files in unity preferences-external tools
,I had the same Problem and today i could fix it.
In Unity-Preferences-External tools click on **regenerate project files.
Restart the visualStudio.

It sounds like you might be missing the Visual Studio plugin for Unity.

Do this … in Visual Studio go to View in the main menu and see if you can see the Unity Project View option … it should be near the top and has a hot key combo of (Shift + Alt + E) … if you do see this then you do have the Unity tool installed … if not you do not … so install it …

How to install it?

Using Visual Studio Installer modify the install for your Visual Studio and scroll down to the Gaming section … select Game Development with Unity. See the attachment for an example.
