Today , I encountered a wiered thing in my SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 where the intellisense was somehow not working in SSMS 2008 R2 🙁 .
I had only SQL Server 2008 R2 Express installed on my machine and had recently installed the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 on my Windows 7 System and assumed that this could have caused the issue .
If you are one of those users who faced the same issue , there is a fix from Microsoft Support website for this error.
To resolve this issue , you should apply the cumulative update that includes the incompatibility between SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 and T-SQL that is part of Visual Studio 2010 SP1.
I downloaded the Build 10.50.1815.0 that was released on April 16 , 2012 and installed it .
You can find the list of The SQL Server 2008 R2 builds that were released after SQL Server 2008 R2 was released here
