How to configure Visual Studio for debugging .NET framework
Search for: | Examples |
Full or partial type or member name.
The string needs to be a prefix, "Builder" won't find "StringBuilder", but will find "BuilderType".
Use quotes to find exact string (turns off prefix search).
|
|
Use "assembly" prefix to search for assembly names. | |
Use a keyword to filter by member type:
assembly, type, class, struct, interface, enum, delegate, method, property, event, field, file
|
|
Add words separated by space to filter results to only those that contain all of the words. Can also filter by assembly name. | |

Find projects by path. | |
Find GUIDs mentioned in string literals. |
