I am currently using Visual Studio 2010, but I do not think this is a version specific issue (think it That's exactly the same way in 2008).
When I want to know that any variable / function in my solution / whatever is used, I right-click it and select "Find all references". It gives me a long list of find the symbol results to see all the current references, though this list is quite dirty. The result seems to be in what file they are in, but it stops there. They are resolved by neither the row number and some more logical (at least I can see ...).
If I do the same type of operation eg. Eclipse, I get a good list, where the search results are well ordered in the file, then the function and line number in the file. Is there any way that I can achieve something in Visual Studio (perhaps to specify something)? Or is it just one of those silly things where the visual studio is completely disappointing? Or is there a great order of some of the missing arguments?
It's not that this is a huge problem, but when you look at it, it makes it very easy to reference a variable if it's some kind of logical order ...
Update:
To clarify: I know that there are other add-ons and tools like Repertory etc. Which makes these types of things better than Visual Studio. I am interested in "logging" the search output from Visual Studio's existing "all references" and if not - the reason behind their current sorting order on the earth is ( some should be the argument , Because whenever I search for the same variable then the sequence gets in the result).
I have a VS Pinged the team and it has come to know that the reason for the strangeity is that the search is based on the stars rather than all the reference numbers. That's why you see 1,2, 25, 3, 35, 4 ... etc. They are seeing it as a bug and it is decided to be fixed, but the timeline is unknown.
