Is there something similar to Source Code Outliner Power Toy for VS2010?

Question

I absolutely love the Source Code Ouliner power toy that I use in VS2005 but am upgrading to 2010 and it seems they haven't yet released a new version. Is there anything similar that shows you a basic outline of the file you are currently navigating?

Answer 1

Like you, I found this a totally great plug in that saved on the order of minutes per day. No more searching for functions! Luckily Source Outliner has been re-created for VS2010 and is still free. However, sbohlen updated it and it now runs on the (free) DXCore environment. I have been using it ever since I upgraded to VS2010.

You can read along as I got this set up, downloaded all the parts and got it running.

The download is here:

You will also need the DXCore community installer from http://www.devexpress.com

But as a ReSharper user for years now, I will use the File Structure - same sort of view and already built in to R#.

Answer 2

For a free one, try the Solution Navigator in the Microsoft Productivity Power Tools.

Answer 3

ReSharper, amongst many other features, has a File Structure window which does the same as Source Outliner.
