Is there a trick to show code outline in visual studio?

Question

This kind of stuff exists in eclipse:

but I've not found it in visual studio yet,is there such a window to show code outline at all?

UPDATE

I tried both doucument outline and class view,and class view is close,but it only shows class information,can it come up with function info also?

Answer 1

You can use the Class View Window, or you can use outlining to collapse the code window to definitions (Ctrl-M-O and Ctrl M-L in the standard keyboard set up)

Answer 2

you can have document outline window by going to view-> Other Window -> Document Outline or you can have it using Ctrl+W, U I am using VS-2008. You can have a look at the following links also:

Hope this answers

• not free, but if you install Visual AssistX, each document gets a dropdown box listing all methods in a file (alphabetically or in the order they occur)

• check Class View again, it does show functions (but not per document). Also check out the Code Definition Window, extremely nice when combined with Class View.

Have you tired Collapse to Definitions? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2010/03/18/collapse-to-definitions-with-outlining-vstipedit0032.aspx
