Answers. Don't close Visual Studio but close all the files and open them again by clicking on the file in the solution. The file might have been opened by Source Safe or you maybe opened it from Windows Explorer. In this case the file doesn't get assosiated with your solution and the Go to Def.
Go To Definition If you are a keyboard user, place your text cursor somewhere inside the symbol name and press F12. If you are a mouse user, either select Go To Definition from the right-click menu or use the Ctrl-click functionality described in the following section.
Go to Definition# If a language supports it, you can go to the definition of a symbol by pressing F12. Tip: You can jump to the definition with Ctrl+Click or open the definition to the side with Ctrl+Alt+Click.
You can peek a definition by choosing Peek Definition from the right-click menu for a type or member that you want to explore. If the option is enabled, you can also peek a definition using the mouse, by pressing Ctrl (or another modifier) and clicking the member name. Or, from the keyboard, press Alt+F12.
I had the same problem with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Premium.
Fixed it by following the steps:
F12 should now work.

To reiterate what @eodabash said on 2014-04-07 was EXACTLY it.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Premium and I too lost Go To Definition functionality when the file was file containing the class was not opened.
BOOM!
My issue was NOT an extension. It was NOT the .suo files. It was NOT a reinstall issue. It worked in C++ but NOT C#.
It WAS the file extensions option were not associated with C#. (facepalm)
