Are you asking about the C# programming language, or the Javascript-derived deprecated UnityScript programming language? — ProgrammingLlama, Sep 13 '20 at 12:38
Have you tried visual studio code. I created an extension method yesterday and it was picked up by the other scripts immediately — Monofuse, Sep 13 '20 at 14:07
Visual Studio doesn't automagically generate autocompletes for you, you'll need the [Visual Studio Tools for Unity](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/cross-platform/visual-studio-tools-for-unity?view=vs-2019) extension — Enfyve, Sep 13 '20 at 21:37

Your installation of Visual Studio is probably missing the Visual Studio Tools for Unity extension. Try this installation guide: Get started with Visual Studio Tools for Unity

There is a previous forum that provides guidance on this issue which is still relevant in 2021:

Unity Scripts edited in Visual studio don't provide autocomplete

One solution that worked for me that was not in that forum was going to the Solution Explorer tab in Visual Studios. Right click the solution and hit resolve errors. This may fix the issue.
