Hello,

today, we released a new Visual Studio Extension called XSharp Power Tools to the Visual Studio Marketplace .

The extension uses the internal x# database to add two features to visual studio:

• X# CodeBrowser - A search dialog for quickly finding classes and methods
• X# Find Namespace - A search dialog for namespaces of dotnet classes

A better description with screenshots can be found in the Visual Studio Marketplace .

The extension works only in Visual Studio 2019 - Version 16.10 or newer. We testet the extension only with version 2.8c of X# but it might work also with older versions, as long as it creates the internal x# database.

Hello Volkmar,

Sounds interesting, I installed it, thanks!

You may need to add in your description, also on the Market Place, that both options can be found in Tools/X# Power Toys.

Dick

Hello Dick,

we'll fix that with the next update. The two options should also be available in the popup menu of the editor window.

We updated the Plugin. We fixed some bugs and optimized the CodeBrowser form.

We updated the Plugin:
- Find Namespace tool searches local source code too
- User feedback when no results are found
- Bug fixes

Volkmar,
Thanks for the update.
Is the CodeBrowserResults toolwindow new or did I miss that in the previous build ?

Robert

Hi Robert. The CodeBrowserResults were introduced in one of the last versions.

Finally got around to installing this. It's fantastic!

Thanks!

Happy to hear, that you like it
