Well, if you have the project referenced as a project, then it should
work. If you are referencing the assembly itself, then I don't think it
will work.

Yes it should work, if you use Go To Definition on a method/class/property
that is defined in a referenced DLL (non-project reference), the Object
Browser should open and the current method/class/property should be
selected.

At least, that's what it always has done for me and how I would do it if I
wrote it myself too...

My question is about the use and meaning of the terms "declaration" and "definition" as it pertains to the C language. I've read sources that mix the two up when talking about such things as setting aside storage for an object, defining/declaring a struct, parts of a function, referencing an external variable in another module. sourcefile1.c ============== extern long globalfoo; /* declaration? */

While I'd toyed with C, C++, and Java over the last 20 years or so, my principal language has been BASIC, QBASIC, then Visual Basic, and finally Visual Basic .NET. But lately, I've been using C# and I absolutely *love* it. It makes me think more about what I'm doing it before I just spew code into the editor. I'm writing better code than ever. The only thing so far that I don't like about it is the switch construct. I can't do this:

Guys, Need some of your opinion on an oft beaten track We have an option of using "goto" in C language, but most testbooks (even K&R) advice against use of it. My personal experience was that goto sometimes makes program some more cleaner and easy to understand and also quite useful (in error handling cases). So why goto is outlawed from civilized c programmers community. is there any technical inefficiency in that.

I was thinking of switching to VS2005, so I sent off for and received a 120 evaluation kit. This version was supposed to be the same as the full version, but the key limits you to 120 days. I installed it and began learning how to use it. I built several small C# test apps that use common classes in a dll that I also wrote. When I right click on a class that was defined in the dll and select "go to definition" it would open the source...

Before I start, please let's not discuss whether goto is evil or not. For generated code, this can make perfect sense. It would be interesting to know a trick how to get C to do a goto to an address that has been assigned to a variable, i.e. MyLabel: .... address_x = MyLabel; ....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
