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.

I have been using USysWare DPack since forever. It is very small and not intrusive so if all you want is a quick shortcut window showing list of methods of the current file you are using, it provides just that. Good thing is that the author is still active after more than 10 years just to keep providing the same features into latest VS release.

After installation, just use Alt + M to bring up the method list window. I prefer to show all members instead, but it's up to you.

In Visual Studio 2015, View > Other Windows > Resource View. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+E. I find this cleaner than Class View. With Class View Windows you can filter methods/attributes based on access modifier (private/protected/public) etc.

In Visual Studio 2019, there is the "Go To Member" action located in Edit - Go To that is mapped by default to ALT+\. I think this was added in Visual Studio 2017.

This is what pops up which provides the desired functionality and a couple of options:

Microsoft doesn't feel like implementing this useful tool, but if by chance you can have Visual Assist, you have it in VAssistX > Tools > VA Outline. The plugin is not free though.
