Visual Studio window which shows list of methods

Question

Just wondered if anything like that exists? Certainly in Eclipse it does.

A small window like the solution window listing all the methods in the active class would be great

Any ideas?

Thank you

Answer 1

There's the drop down above the code window. Does this do what you want?

Answer 2

There is no direct equivalent to the Outline View in Eclipse. The closest thing I've found is the Class View, which lists all classes and their members/methods. There is a search box at the top to narrow the selection.

Answer 3

In Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 you can try the Source Code Outliner Power Toy.

Answer 4

Do you mean the class view window (View->Class View, or Ctrl+W,C)?

You also have the intellisence popup-window

Answer 5

At the top of your text editor, you should have a dropdown that lists all the methods, properties etc in the current type; and it's clickable (even if those members are defined in other files - in which case they're greyed out but you can still navigate with them).

Also, if you use the Class Explorer (CTRL+ALT+C) to navigate your project, then you'll get a full overview of all your types. However, there doesn't appear to be a setting in Tools/Options that allows you to track the active type in that window (there is for the solution explorer) - perhaps a macro or addin is in order...
