Browse Information bugs

Sometimes the browse information is wrong, usually when you modify things from outside the enviorment or make massive changes (replace in files for example). The question is: how can I rebuild this information . Another question i have: is there a way to use the browse information of another project/solution . I have problems sometimes with big dlls, when you click "go to definition" it actually goes to the declaration.

I would be really greatfull if someone can help me with this.

    I've tried what you said but it seems like the browse info isn't completly rebuilt, it keeps some wrong information. I see this errors almost always i edit long-code projects. It's true that the new vc2005 is more precise than the older, but it still has some problems. I thinck a complete rebuilt of the browse info would solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to be an option like that.

    Thanks for your reply

    if you press rebiuld from the build menu, i think it rebuilds the brows information becuase in the outpuut window, it is prompted.

    in vc++2005, if you go to definition and see that it goes to declaration it might be becuase of that 'there is no definition' or the definition deffers from the declaration -has defferent arguments, etc... - or has syntax errors.

    anyway i believe these browser tools wasn't precise in the vc2003. but in the newer version, they are more precise.

    goodluck

    I've found out what i was looking for. I didn't find an option but I found the file that kept the wrong information. It's the intellsense database file (.ncb) that resides in the same folder as the solution file. I just deleted it and then it was built automatically again.
