Visual Studio window which shows list of methods

Question

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.

Answer 1

Resharper has the File Structure window which is very similar to eclipse outline view. Originally answered in:

Answer 2

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.

A nice clean way to do this is to use View.SynchronizeClassView.

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).

In Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 you can try the Source Code Outliner Power Toy.

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.
