    Hi, I found that no intellisense (and syntax highlighting) when I open C# source file under Packages by double clicking in Editor.

    My environment : Unity 2018.2.0b5, Visual Studio 2017 (15.7.2)

    Could you please try to

    - Remove all your autogenerated solution/project files, and the ".vs" folder.
    - Regenerate

    If you still encounter the issue please submit a bug report at https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com

    I tried regeneration .vs and related files, but it not works.

    It seems that the files under C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Unity\cache\packages are not included to auto-generated solution, so it can't show types in UnityEngine.dll. The types on same file are correctly highlighted.

    Is this intended behaviour?

    Hi @Kichang-Kim,

    Files in the package cache are not included to the auto-generated solution by design (because they can't/shouldn't be modified). However we plan to add hints to the generated VS solution/projects to help VS find the source code for assemblies, which I believe might fix the issue in your situation. Unfortunately I have no ETA yet, but improved IDE usability is on our radar.
