Limit Visual Studio's edit area to display just one function or method

Years ago, when I worked in VB 6, I could make the editor window display only the function/method that I was working on -- I miss that.

Is there a way, an add-in, or a hack, that would allow me to do the same thing now?

Thanks!!

I've recently released (commercial) Task Canvas extension for Visual Studio 2015 that lets you choose methods or code selections to work on.

If I were you I would implement my class into partial classes, and move my stable code to one of them, focus my code implementation in one of the classes:

public partial class Employee
{
    public void StableFunction()
    {
    }
}

public partial class Employee
{
    public void UnStableFunction()
    {
    }
}

It would appear that this functionality was removed. And that there is no way around it, perhaps you could look into making your own plugin for Visual Studios?

I do not believe this is possible by official pathways. However, there are many plugins that allow you to quickly jump to a function/method. I would suggest a few of the following:

  • There is a "select member" drop down list at the top-right
  • CodeMaid has a "spade" window that shows you all items in a file
  • If you are willing to spend money, VS10x Code Map v2 is a good option
