real time syntax checking within c++ in vs.net

I have used vs.net 2003 extensively for c# projects, but am starting some
work in c++.  When using c# I routinely right click on an object or method
name and browse immediately to its definition, class hierarchy, etc.  Very
powerful, obviously.  In c++ I don't necessarily find as yet the same
capabilities so far.

For example.  assume I am reading code (that I did not write) in conjunction
with a set of header files and libraries provided to me by a third party.  I
see this function call within the code:

           int n = Foo( x );

I need to find the definition or declaration of Foo().  Is there a way to
use the IDE to trace back from this occurance of Foo (via right click, or
whatever) to get to the header file which defines it and/or any other useful
information about it?

Thanks,

Ooops, the title should have read "tracing the origin of a function"

yes, if you have that function's declaration(e.g. C++ header file) and
implementation(e.g. C++ source file) included in the current project, you
can find its definition just like using C#...

Thanks!
