.NET find utility

TTCEric

In VB6, you just had available a Find dialog. Now, in .NET you have several options. "Find Symbol", "Quick Find" and "Quick Replace".

None seem to do what I want: simply find some code. Inundated with all these options makes me think i'm picking the wrong things.

But, you see, I dont want options. I just want to find a block of code (utter frustration here).

Any pointers on getting it to work simply as the VB6 find utility? And whats a symbol?

Just use Ctrl-F. That's what I always use. Just make sure that the "Look In" dropbox is set for the proper context. "Current Document" is the behavior I think that you are looking for. The Quick Replace (Ctrl-H) is the same as Quick Find (Ctrl-F) but with the option to replace the found text with some other text you specify. I must confess, I don't know what Find Symbol does.

All the extra options are actually quite useful; you can look in the whole project, whole solution, or all open files, or just the selected text. This can come in handy.

I believe Find Symbol is the sam as when you right-click on something and say "Find all references"
