Finding all the classes that inherit an interface in Visual Studio

Question

Hello everyone,

If I find out about a new interface,does Visual Studio provide any means to find out all the classes that have inherited that interface?

No,I don't want the C# code to do that..I know that's available at stackoverflow itself.I just want to know if Visual Studio has any functionality to findout this info for any interface through intellisense or any shortcut??

Thanks

Visual Studio does not have this functionality. Resharper does. I think the closest you can get is right click on the interface and select Find All References.

Answer 2

Actually, VS can do it.

Go to the Object Browser, select .Net Framework vX, then navigate to an interface and expand Derived Types.

In VS2010, this feature is available in all views, but in earlier versions, it's only available in a complete framework list.

As other people have noted, Reflector can also do this, and, unlike Resharper, it is free.

Answer 3

Reflector does, it is free and excellent. Search for the interface name and expand the "Derived Types" node.
