TMPro not found in Visual Studio Code

Question

I'm using Visual Studio Code to write my code for Unity. The following extension I've added to Visual Studio Code: C#, Debugger for Unity, Unity Code Snippets & Unity Tools

Using TMPro to work with TextMeshPro components throws me this error:

Unnecessary using directive. [Assembly-CSharp]csharp(CS8019)
The type or namespace name 'TMPro' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) [Assembly-CSharp, Assembly-CSharp, Assembly-CSharp, Assembly-CSharp, Assembly-CSharp, Assembly-CSharp, Assembly-CSharp]csharp(CS0246)

On the bright-side, in Unity Editor no errors are thrown, but it is still annoying.

Does anybody know if there's an additional Extension I have to download or how to fix this issue?

Answer 1

I have had this for ages, here is the solution for Unity 2021.1 and latest Vscode plugin:

Go to preferences>External tools and Untick everything (all generate csproj tickboxes) delete all the sln and CSproj files.

Hit Regenerate project files.
