(Microsoft Visual C# .NET 69586-335-0000007-18224) - vs.net 2003

I would like to navigate between two bookmarks in two separate documents in
my C# project. It's not working now--I can only successfully navigate
between two bookmarks within the SAME document. Is there an option or a
registry setting that I can help me go between documents?

Yes, it seems that bookmarks only work within the same document, it happens
to with VB 2003.

If you are interested, my add-in (below) has a Favorite Code Elements
feature that can work as a replacement for bookmarks.

I appreciate the info.

However, what I'm really concerned about is when I open up VS.NET 2005 and
put bookmarks in two separate files, is it going to jump between files? Or
if not by default, is there going to be an option that allows me to choose
this functionality?

To me this is a ridiculous limitation--is it getting fixed!?!? Do the MS
IDE people agree that this is a limitation that needs fixing? If so, are
you going to fix it?

AFAIK, VS 2005 allows adds cross-file bookmarks feature.
Unfortunately, just like with VS.NET 2003, there is no easy way to
recall a particular bookmark. You can scroll through the bookmarks
either clock or counter-clock wise.

In addition to Carlos's excellent suite of add-ins, I'd also recommend
you check DPack's Bookmarks feature.

VS2005 has a new View, Bookmark Window that allows you to see all bookmarks,
although you must rename them manually to something meaningful since they
are based on file name and line number rather than on code element (class,
function, etc) containers.

Can you not use Edit, Bookmarks, Add task list Shortcut, (Ctrl-K, Ctrl-H)?

This will add a bookmark into your tasklist.
