I've just recently started using VS2008 for a new tools project, and have been spending a lot of time in Eclipse/Java. The one thing I am missing is the thing I could have sworn was in VS2005 the last time I worked with it - the class outline.

I'm speaking of the basic outline in Eclipse, where you can see the class members, methods, etc and click on them to navigate to them.

The only thing that sounds like it might be it (but is not) is the Class View.

Any help?

Try this menu option:

View > Class View

The default keyboard shortcut is

Control + Shift + C

It even says right in the question that is not what I am looking for.

That appears to be the one. Didn't this used to be built in?

The class view may have had it at one point, not sure. You need to close the window when you're typing or it'll keep refreshing

I am using Resharper, but I don't see any outliner in it.

This is what I had to do:

Open the Object Browser (View->Object Browser). It will open as a tab.

Right click the tab and select the "dockable" option. Then it will open as a window floating around.

I have 2 monitors, so in one of them I have visual studio, and in the other I put the Object Browser window. If you click something in the Object Browser, it will take you to where it is defined in the visual studio editor.

Not the same as the Eclipse outline (I miss it too), but this is the closest to it I'have found without adding pluggins.
