Looking for variable hightlight feature in Visual Studio 2008

Question

Hello all, I had been looking for a "variable highlight" feature which can be found in Netbeans or Notepad++.

This means, when I select a variable, the same variable which is being scattered around other place will be highlighted as well. This feature is very valuable, to help me scan the code quickly.

May I know is it possible I can have this feature as well in Visual Studio 2008?

Use ReSharper and you will be able many useful features. This particular one is called highlight usage and is available when pressing Ctrl + Shift + F7. The description is at:
