Is there a way to quickly find files in Visual Stu

Question

Does Visual Studio 2010 have a built-in way to quickly find/open files, similar to the Ctrl+Shift+O function in Eclipse?

Edit: Or does Resharper offer this functionality?

Answer 1

Ctrl + Alt + A opens the command window, type "open" then start typing file names and it will dynamically autocomplete by available solution file name.

Answer 2

DPack has a dialog for finding files in the current solution (search all, or only open files), and it also has a dialog to search the current file for methods,properties, etc. Very nice! Note that the current version only supports VS 2012 or newer, but they have binaries there for older versions of VisualStudio as well:

You could also try Sonic File Finder, which does something similar to CTRL+COMMA:

Answer 3

VSFileNav - An extension that I created that allow rapid file searching. It's basically got all the ReSharper functionality that was disabled in the express version of VS2010 (I used to really like this).

It's also free :)

Answer 4

Visual Assist comes with something like this. You will have to pay for the plugin (and I don't think you can use plugins in the express versions).

(If you're doing C++ and you don't plan to buy Visual Assist, be sure to never install the trial. It's that addictive.)

Answer 5

Type >open filename in the command box in the Visual studio can also open the file

Answer 6

NavigateToAll extends the built-in Navigate To by enabling you to open any file on the disk (not just the ones in the solution).
