Visual Studio window which shows list of methods

Question

In Visual Studio, is there a window which shows list of methods in the active class? A small window like the Solution Explorer would be great. In Eclipse, there is one.

Answer 1

A nice clean way to do this is to use View.SynchronizeClassView.

Additionally you can:

• pin your Class view window
• collapse the top pane (listing all the classes)

And now it feels just like the Visual Assist's feature "List Methods in Current File" (which also list members btw).

Answer 2

There's a drop down just above the code window:

It's called Navigation bar and contains three drop downs: first drop down contains project, second type and third members (methods).

You can use the shortcut Ctrl + F2 (move focus to the project drop down) and press Tab twice (move focus to the third drop down) to focus it, down arrow will expand the list.

My best way to do this is, that i open the Code Definition Window, under View -> Code Definition Window or press Ctrl + W,D .

And then i got it floated and i have the definitions of methods in separate windows.

Answer 4

There is no direct equivalent to the Outline View in Eclipse. The closest thing I've found is the Class View, which lists all classes and their members/methods. There is a search box at the top to narrow the selection.

Answer 5

Resharper has the File Structure window which is very similar to eclipse outline view. Originally answered in:

Answer 6

ReSharper has a 'ReSharper | Windows | File Structure' window, which is used for visualizing current code file structure.
