Is there a way to list all classes implementing a given interface in ReSharper?
I usually find ",interfacename" to accomplish that but it is not a terrible solution.
In Resharper you can use Go to Implementation (Ctrl+F12, or click the symbol holding Ctrl+Alt keys) and use "Show in Find Results" option to show the results in the find results window.
Not resharper related, but Visual Studio 2015 after Update 1 allows you to right click the interface and select "Go To Implementation". With Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 they have added a shortcut Ctrl+F12.
Sure, put the text caret on the interface name and invoke Go to Derived Symbols - either Alt+End or Ctrl+Alt+B, depending on the keyboard scheme.
Note that you can also hit Alt+Enter on the interface name and type "derived" to get to the Go to Derived Symbols action a little quicker. Or use the Navigate To context menu to show all the navigation options for the interface name (Alt+~ or Ctrl+Alt+G)
Also, when the popup menu shows listing the interfaces, click the icon in the top right, and it will open the list in the Find Results window.
All of a sudden I've lost automatic Intellisense in my projects. And now I'm doubting I ever had it because it's something I just took for granted.
Now, if I type in System. nothing pops up automatically until I hit ctrl-space.
I've tried the suggested "ctrl-alt-space" to toggle intellisense Completion Mode, but that only adds or removes a search box at the top of the Intellisense window, which I still have to bring up with "ctrl-space"
Am I crazy? Isn't the default mode of Intellisense to popup suggestions after you type in object. ?
It is a setting, it could be turned off if you recently played with an add-on that you subsequently uninstalled. For example. Tools + Options, Text Editor, All Languages. Ensure the "Auto list members" checkbox is ticked.
If you are using C#, go to Tools -> Text Editor -> C# -> IntelliSense. Make sure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked.
While editing javascript content VisualStudio is starting to bug me with how it keeps inserting highlighted suggestions. For example it keeps inserting valueOf( if I type val(. This is really annoying.
I want to invoke intellisense manually just like I can with C#, is there any way of turning off the auto-complete suggestion or at least preventing it from selecting an entry for me?
In Visual Studio Tools > Options > Text Editor > JScript
In corresponding panel as Statement completion
Uncheck Autolist members & Parameter Information
I think that should do the trick
I realize resharper isn't mentioned in the question, however there is an easy solution if you're using it.
Navigate to Resharper -> Options -> Intellisense -> Completing Character. Once there, add ".val(" to the "Do not complete on" text field beside the JavaScript row.
Like so:
I tried Myra's solution but it didn't solve it completely for me due to ReSharper. Turned out it was the ReSharper intellisense that autocompleted whatever I was writing to the current/top option in the intellisense list, not the VS default intellisense.
I fixed this by turning off ReSharper's JavaScript support completely by going to ReSharper -> Options -> Products & Features -> Uncheck JavaScript and TypeScript.
This might not be a good solution if you depend on any other JavaScript- or TypeScript-related features in ReSharper but I finally got control of the intellisense. Peace, at last...
(Just to be clear, I still have the "Autolist members" and "Parameter Information" options as described in Myra's post above checked/activated, and the "Only use Tab or Enter to commit" option as described in Brett Ryan's comment above also checked/activated)
for me it was also resharper (replacing my .each with .forEach), and what I did is go to
menu
Resharper -> Options
Environment -> IntelliSense -> Autopopup
select JavaScript tab
"After dot" -> select "Display but do not preselect" in the dropdown
This kind of stuff exists in Eclipse:
But I've not found it in Visual Studio yet. Is there such a window to show code outline at all?
I tried both Document Outline and Class View windows. The Class View is close, but it only shows class information, can it come up with function info also?
One great plugin for VS is CodeMaid. It is powerful and it is open source!
You can also sort your methods within the CodeMaid Spade view.
Here is a screenshot.
Also non-free, but Jetbrains Resharper provides a File Structure Window, what perhaps is what you are searching for.
To display this dockable window, select from the menu: ReSharper → Windows → File Structure (default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F
This question was asked quite a while ago and before Visual Studio Code existed but I found it when searching for how to do this with Visual Studio Code so I thought others might stumble on this question too so I thought I'd share my solution. Here's how to do it in Visual Studio Code. I'm using TypeScript but it works for JavaScript, too.
1) View -> Open View
2) select (or type) Outline
3) You'll now get an Outline palette that shows full information on the class including properties and functions.
In newer Visual Studio versions (e.g. 2015) you can see this directly in the solution explorer. Simply expand the .cs file and you will get the list of the methods in the order they are listed in the file. This is exactly the same as the Outline in Eclipse.
If you want to see the stuff alphabetically, open the file and between the tab pane and the editor, there is a row showing the project name, the class name with namespace, and a drop down with the available methods and properties.
not free, but if you install Visual AssistX, each document gets a dropdown box listing all methods in a file (alphabetically or in the order they occur)
check Class View again, it does show functions (but not per document). Also check out the Code Definition Window, extremely nice when combined with Class View.
You can use the Class View Window, or you can use outlining to collapse the code window to definitions (Ctrl-M-O and Ctrl M-L in the standard keyboard set up)
Trick is to call Ctrl+F2, then Tab, then Tab, then Down arrow. I've done it with this simple AutoHotkey script when I hit Ctrl+o:
#IfWinActive ahk_exe devenv.exe
^o::
Send ^{F2}
Send {Tab}
Send {Tab}
Send {Down}
return
#IfWinActive
It will show dropdown that is closest to Quick Outline in Eclipse or others.
There is now a free add-in available through the add-in manager in VS2010 that works quite well. It also has a dark theme.
VS10x Code Map v2
Screenshot:
Go To "Solution Explorer" and select your project; then select a class file you want to outline, then expand the little triangle just below that class (as shown in the figure below)
In VS2017 you can navigate between items in the file directly from the upper right corner of the Editor.
you can have document outline window by going to view-> Other Window -> Document Outline or you can have it using Ctrl+W, U
I am using VS-2008. You can have a look at the following links also:

Hope this answers your question.

There is an free extension for Visual Studio that provide code outline: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SamirBoulema.CodeNav
I've started using VSCommands 10.
This has support for the most common languages used when developing in Visual Studio 2010, including JavaScript.
There's an extension provided Free, by Microsoft, that enables this and many other features into Visual Studio. The extension is Productivity Power Tools.
Ctrl+Shift+O comes closest to what you want
If you need more, see: discussion of the Outline Feature on github
If you use PHP, make sure you install full version as mentioned in the docs
Resharper has a feature of inspection. You can see incoming and outgoing calls from there.
shortcut: CTRL+ Shift + ALT +
A list of things you can use:
1.Visual Studio default's ClassView
2.Visual Assist's VA OUTLINE Feature
3.CodeMaid's Spade Feature
In Visual Studio Code, the popup outline is not called outline but symbol list. The command is "Go to Symbol in Editor...", and default shortcut is "Ctrl + Shift + O".
Checked again, the question is to Visual Studio, I guess it could be same with Visual Studio Code.
In Visual Studio, is there a window which shows list of methods in the active class? A small window like the Solution Explorer would be great. In Eclipse, there is one.
There's a drop down just above the code window:
It's called Navigation bar and contains three drop downs: first drop down contains project, second type and third members (methods).
You can use the shortcut Ctrl + F2 (move focus to the project drop down) and press Tab twice (move focus to the third drop down) to focus it, down arrow will expand the list.

I found how to turn the drop down on as shown in the first answer (#ChrisF):
Go to Options->Text Editor->(your language)
and tick "Navigation bar" in the display section.
Since Visual Studio 2012, you can view the outline ( fields and methods) in the solution explorer by expanding the node corresponding to your file .
Shortcut to Navigation Bar is Ctrl+F2. Takes you to the types dropdown first. Press tab to go to method dropdown, and then enter on a method to go to that one.
ReSharper has a 'ReSharper | Windows | File Structure' window, which is used for visualizing current code file structure.
Resharper has the File Structure window which is very similar to eclipse outline view. Originally answered in:
Visual Studio 2012: List of all Methods in class

Despite it's an old question maybe this answer help you as helped me.
you can download codemaid extension from here : codemaid website
it has a lot of functionality that you may find in their website.
the one that is related to this question is code digging
Visualize and navigate through the contents of your C# and C++ files from a tree view hierarchy. Quickly switch between different sorting methods to get a better overview. Drag and drop to reorganize the code. See McCabe complexity scores and informative tool tips.
in other words it give you ability to see the methods and properties and also reorganize them just with drag and drop. it's my everyday use extension
There is no direct equivalent to the Outline View in Eclipse. The closest thing I've found is the Class View, which lists all classes and their members/methods. There is a search box at the top to narrow the selection.
In Visual Studio 2019, there is the "Go To Member" action located in Edit - Go To that is mapped by default to ALT+\. I think this was added in Visual Studio 2017.
This is what pops up which provides the desired functionality and a couple of options:
In Visual Studio 2015, View > Other Windows > Resource View. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+E. I find this cleaner than Class View. With Class View Windows you can filter methods/attributes based on access modifier (private/protected/public) etc.
A nice clean way to do this is to use the command View.SynchronizeClassView by entering it into the Command Window (View > Other Windows > Command Window or Ctrl+Alt+A) but there's no way to do it automatically.
Additionally, you can:
pin your Class view window
collapse the top pane (listing all the classes)
And now it feels just like the Visual Assist's feature "List Methods in Current File" (which also list members btw).
At the top of your text editor, you should have a dropdown that lists all the methods, properties etc in the current type; and it's clickable (even if those members are defined in other files - in which case they're greyed out but you can still navigate with them).
Also, if you use the Class Explorer (Ctrl+Alt+C) to navigate your project, then you'll get a full overview of all your types. However, there doesn't appear to be a setting in Tools/Options that allows you to track the active type in that window (there is for the solution explorer) - perhaps a macro or addin is in order...
Microsoft doesn't feel like implementing this useful tool, but if by chance you can have Visual Assist, you have it in VAssistX > Tools > VA Outline. The plugin is not free though.
In Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 you can try the Source Code Outliner Power Toy.

Do you mean the class view window (View->Class View, or Ctrl+W,C)?
You also have the intellisence popup-window
With Visual Studio 2010
You choose Tools->Settings->Expert Settings
On the left-bottom corner, you will see the tab "Class View" right next tab "Solution Explorer"
In the top area of "Class View" layout, you will see the list of class name, enum, struct, ...
In the bottom area of "Class View layout, you will see the list of member for these class, enum or struct
I have been using USysWare DPack since forever. It is very small and not intrusive so if all you want is a quick shortcut window showing list of methods of the current file you are using, it provides just that. Good thing is that the author is still active after more than 10 years just to keep providing the same features into latest VS release.

After installation, just use Alt + M to bring up the method list window. I prefer to show all members instead, but it's up to you.
In VS 2012, just go to View > Class View...then you get the Class View GUI in the main tab area. Now, drag this over to the side dock and you have the exact same layout as you would in Eclipse.

My best way to do this is, that i open the Code Definition Window, under View -> Code Definition Window or press Ctrl + W,D .
And then i got it floated and i have the definitions of methods in separate windows.
Regards
grep -i " sub " filename.vb > methods.txt
grep -i " function " filename.vb >> methods.txt
