How to highlight the same C++ variable on Visual Studio 2010

I am using C++ coding editor on Visual Studio 2010. I remember the IDE will help highlight the same variables when I selected a variable.But it doesn't work now.

I have enabled the "Auto list members" and "Parameter information" on the C/C++ option.

And it doesn't help showing the members of the namespace when I type the "." or "->".

Someone please help.

I have found the solution to that problem there is a column that has the numbers of your lines of code "it's next to your lines of code", just press right-click on this column, then choose "Preferences", then show the list of "editor", then press on the "Mark Occurrences", then mark on all options which will show up to you.

This extension does more or less what you want:

Highlight all occurrences of selected word

Double click on a word, and it will highlight all other occurrences of that word. Not that the highlighted occurrences can include commented-out code.

AFAIK, highlighting the same variable is not available for C++ in Visual Studio 2010. However, this article does indicate that it will be available in the next version after VS 2010
