How to locate a file in Solution Explorer in Visua

Question

I have a huge solution with multiple projects. Sometime I need to navigate to a file in Solution Explorer. Using the VS 2010 'Navigate To' feature I can open any file by name in Visual Studio 2010 but I want to be able to select the file in Solution Explorer as well?

Answer 1

If you have ReSharper and want to add "Locate in Solution Explorer" to the tab's context menu:

1. Go to Tools -> Customize -> Commands -> Context Menu
2. Select "Other Context Menus | Easy MDI Document Window".
3. Click "Add Command".
4. Choose "Resharper" -> "ReSharper_LocateInSolutionOrAssemblyExplorer"
5. "OK" -> "Close"

Now, when right click on any tab and you'll see a new option: Locate in Solution Explorer.

UPDATE:

Following the comment from @jeremy-paskali, you can set a keyboard shortcut for this command:

1. Go to Tools -> Customize -> "Keyboard..."
2. Search for "ReSharper.ReSharper_LocateInSolutionOrAssemblyExplorer" in the "Show commands containing" field and select it.
3. Review the currently assigned shortcuts in the drop down below.
4. Make any changes, if needed.
5. "OK" -> "Close"
