Problem with browsing

VS2003.NET C++

I am having a problem with browsing locals:

I have been unable to go to the definition or references of any local
variables in my projects.  It tells me the symbols are not defined.  I can
browse globals and routine names, but nothing within a function.  The
programs work fine, there are no errors.  How can I browse locals, or can't
I?

I also have a few other questions:

1. How can I find the actual location of files shown in the solution
explorer?  It tells me their names, but I would like to see in which
directory they are.

2. How can I change the defaults for my C++ projects/solutions.  I assume I
set something up then go to configuration manager rename the current
"debug", "release", and "all configurations", then rename my setups to the
original names.  Before I do it I just wanted to check.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Marc,

Your questions are more fit for vsnet.IDE queue. This queue is for
setup/installation questions. :)

Firstly, I think you are right here. "Go to" doesn't work for local
variables. I built a sample and tested it also. In fact, the local
variables are in the same function or block, so we can find it easily.

For other questions:
1. How can I find the actual location of files shown in the solution
explorer?  It tells me their names, but I would like to see in which
directory they are.
Click the file in solution explorer, we can find its property in the
property sheet under solution explorer. There we can find its completed
path and reference path.

2. How can I change the defaults for my C++ projects/solutions.  I assume I
set something up then go to configuration manager rename the current
"debug", "release", and "all configurations", then rename my setups to the
original names.  Before I do it I just wanted to check.
Right click the project in solution explorer, and then select its
properties. Then we can adjust the project's setting.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Yanhong Huang

OK, I'll be good in the future ;=)

Well, I just inherited a lot of code.  Many routines are 2 or three pages of
C++ and the locals are defined all over the place.  So, it would be nice to
go right to the location so I could change them, but it's not so bad to
hunt.  I just didn't know if I had missed something or that was the way it
was.

Ah! That assumes you have the property sheet already displayed.  If not,
then right clicking on the file brings up the propery page for the file
which has no location information.  Seems counter intuitive.  But now I know
what is happening and how to get what I need.

Thanks,

Marco
