Is there a built in solution in VS 2010 to quick find/open files similar to the Ctrl-Shift-O function in Eclipse?
Thanks, Cody
edit: Does resharper offer this functionality?
A:
CTRL+SHIFT+F will bring open a find in files search dialog box. The result will be listed, usually, on the lower section of VS in a Find Files result box. Double clicking a result will open it

CTRL+SHIFT+S doesn't do anything for me? And I really want something that searches as I type. There are several addons that do it for earlier versions of VS but I was hoping that MS included it in this version of VS.

That's "Save all".

Ctrl+Shift+F opens "Find in Files".

CTRL+SHIFT+F will bring up find-in-files dialog. I haven't heard of the functionality that you are looking for; though this may help...

ctl + alt + a opens the command window, type "open" then start typing file names and it will dynamically autocomplete by available solution file name.

Unfortunately, VS doesn't offer this search-as-you-type functionality (and lots more).

A:
I use Ctrl + / to jump to the command bar (same as the search box, but with a > prefixed in the text). I then type "of" (for "open file") and start typing the name of the file to open. Possibly matches are automatically displayed by VS.
I also found that when using ReSharper, the familiar Eclipse shortcut for Open Type (Ctrl + Shift + T) is mapped to ReSharper's GotoFile command.

Visual Assist comes with something like this. You will have to pay for the plugin (and I don't think you can use plugins in the express versions).
(If you're doing C++ and you don't plan to buy Visual Assist, be sure to never install the trial. It's that addictive.)

I'm surprised no one gave the right answer. Navigate To can show you a list of open files and lots more. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/10/21/searching-and-navigating-code-in-vs-2010-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx
CTRL+COMMA is your friend.

Woohoo! This is what I'm looking for and it's pretty awesome I must say. Been playing around with it. Thanks a lot!

It can bring back more than you want sometimes but that can be helpful. For instance today, I knew we had a ValidateDate method for validating dates we insert into our DB but wasn't sure where it was. Ctrl+, and type ValidateDate and instantly saw it was in our AbstractDAO.vb

Moreover, it understands FCLN (FirstCapitalLetterNotation). For example, to find ValidateDate, just type VD

Very useful, cheers...I'm using vb and for some reason I had to reset the keyboard mappings (to Visual Studio C# 2005) for this to work - Tools/Options/Keyboard/Apply the following additional..
