My new favorite feature of Visual Studio: the Class View search box. Ever been working on a large solution with hundreds of files, looking for a file that you know is there, but can’t remember which project its in? You know the name of the file, but can’t remember where its at. I needed a way to be able to search my solution for a file name. Voila! Ctrl + K, Ctrl + V pops open the Class View and puts the focus in the search box and lets you search for the class you need. The only caveat is that it searches through the .NET framework assemblies too, so it can be moderately slow at times, but I’ve not noticed a real problem with that so far. I’ve never had a search take longer than maybe a couple of seconds. Anyway…I found it very useful…though you might too.
