LKBEN11705: New WinRT Project in Visual Studio does not find the generated files.


Symptom

The project can be compiled and run but intellisense is not working.

Cause

This is a bad default and should be changed. In the meantime you can follow the instructions below.

Solution

The problem is solved easily by just adding the generated files directory to the Includefolders.

$(GeneratedFilesDir)

Click on your project and open the settings. Add the variable from above to the end of the line.

Click on OK and intellisense should work.

Have fun.
