I have installed the C# extension in VS Code. The problem I am having is, after using a code snippet prop, Intellisense no longer suggests variable types. This happens with other things like ctor as well, it will not autocomplete the class name, for example.

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the extension. I have Googled without luck as well.

I expect for Intellisense to suggest variable types, for example. Intellisense does not suggest anything.

Hitting Ctrl+. does suggest the correct fix among the list.

Edit: My project does not have a project.json or *.sln file. I created the project using the command line dotnet new webapi. If that is what is required, how do I add it or get Intellisense working?

By default, intellisence / quick suggestions will not be triggered inside of a snippet. To enable them set

"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false

true is the default.
