Cool things in Visual Studio 2005

Useful features that do not exist in Visual Studio 2003

  • Code definition window (separate window that shows automatically the definition of the variable currently under the cursor)
  • Find all references command
  • Class view is searchable
  • Class view shows base types and derived types (C++)
  • Class view contains a subpane showing members of current class (makes the tree cleaner)
  • Find in files dialog is modeless (crucial for refactoring) and automatically moves to display the matched string.
