Visual Sidekick Tour - The Solution and Local Views
The Solution and Local Views
Visual Sidekick has a number of symbol views which are selected from the icon set at the top of the Visual Sidekick toolwindow. Each view selects a different set of files to which the filter is applied.
The Solution View has the following properties:
- A better find in files. The Solution View is designed to be used instead of Find-In-Files (Ctrl-Shift-F) when searching for project files or symbols declared in the solution.
- Browse and search all files, folders and symbols defined in the solution.
- A better class and file browser. The Solution View aggregates functionality that is located in the Solution Explorer and the Class View by presenting it in in single tree separated into five sections: a solution projects and folders section, a namespaces section, a classes/types section, a files section, and a global symbols section.
- A better local find. The Local View is designed to replace Find (Ctrl-F), Incremental Find (Ctrl-I) or the Wizard Bar when looking for symbol definitions in the current file. Press Ctrl-Shift-L to quickly find symbol definitions in the current file.
- Shows symbols from current and #included files. The Local View displays symbols from the current file and all header files, inline files, etc.
- Shows current project and project-folder tree. The Local View displays all projects that include the current file, and all project-folders that include the file.
- Shows the current file as well as all #included files.
