Question

I’ve recently reinstalled Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 + Resharper. After the reinstall some color-underlining have stopped working.
It used to create a blue line below Colors.Blue and a green line below Colors.Green. The IntelliSense also had colored squares when listing colors.

Here’s an example of code where the coloring is missing:

textBox.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);

How do I get the underline colors and IntelliSense colors to work again?
