Hey all,

I'm new to the .NET world coming from Java. Is there a way in Visual
Studio .NET 2003 to be able to find 'all the uses of a method'.

For example, in Eclipse w/ Java you could highlight a method
object.doSomething() and then it would search through all open source
files to find exactly where that method was being used.

It was very useful when learning new code bases. Is there a similar
feature (or add-in) in VS.NET 2003?

Thanks,
Curt

Hi,

There is no such feature in VS.NET 2003 (there is a new Find References
feature in VS 2005). In any case, my MZ-Tools add-in (below) has a Procedure
Callers feature for both IDEs and with a much better result list (multiple
tabs, removible results, etc.).

Best regards,
