Eclipse Style Navigation In VS.Net 2008 IDE

Question

Hi,

I'm a Java developer starting with .Net development using VS.Net 2008. I would love to get the Eclipse style of navigating methods etc by pressing the Ctrl key, hover over a method then click it to got to that method's declaration. Does such a plugin exist for VS.Net 2008?

thanks

Answer 1

To summarize In Visual Studio 2008, how can I make control+click do a “Go To Definition”?, you could either use AutoHotKey with the following script,

SetTitleMatchMode RegEx
#IfWinActive, .* - Microsoft Visual Studio
^LButton::Send {click}{f12}

or use ReSharper.

Answer 2

Two ways to go to a method's declaration:

Press F12 when the cursor is positioned in a call to the method.

Right click a call to the method and select 'Go To Definition' on the popup menu.
