Source Code Outliner

The Source Outliner PowerToy is a Visual Studio 2008 extension that provides a tree view of your source code's types and members and lets you quickly navigate to them with filtering inside the editor.

The Source Code Outliner PowerToy was created as a package using the Visual Studio SDK for Visual Studio 2008. For more information about VSX, visit the Visual Studio Extensibility Developer Center .

The following steps to getting started with the Source Code Outliner PowerToy:

- Install the Source Code Outliner PowerToy for Visual Studio 2008.

- Start Visual Studio 2008.

- Open a source code window for an existing source file or create a new one.

- Select the ‘Source Code Outliner Power Toy’ menu item under View.OtherWindows menu group.

- You can dock the Source Code Outliner anywhere, like to the left side of the Visual Studio window next to the Code Editor window.

- Click a method or variable name in Source Outliner and the code associated with what you clicked displays near the top of the Code Editor window.

- You can use the ‘Filter by Type’ to filter different types that you would like to view.

Why are there no releases for the source code outliner?

The source outliner hangs on several of my source files. See [discussion:14156] for more details.

Isn't this functionality already provided by the Class View in VS 2005? What are the added benefits of this addin?

I am already having a problem with this - I have Visual Studio.NET 2008 installed - but it comes up and says that I do not have VS.NET 2008 installed so it does not install. I am willing to include a screenshot - where can I post this bug?

I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional and Windows XP Professiona x64 Edition. The installation succeeded, but when I open the Source Outliner window in Visual Studio, the window is blank. (I do have a C++ file open).

To answer Bazooka's question: For me two things: 1. shows the view of objects particular to the currently opened window. 2. tracks the selection and highlights the object currently containing the cursor.

Updating...
