Continuing talking about searching and navigation improvements in VS as we did before. Another improved and a very good feature is the “Navigate To” dialog box to navigate through code in our solution.
All you have to do is to use the key combination (CTRL + ,) to open this new dialog. See the following screen shot:
You can use the search text box to write one of the following:
- Any part of any name you want to search about.
- Pascal case of any name you want to search about like (CP) will give you any result has two words separated by Pascal convention like (ChangePassoword) or (ChangeCurrentPassword) or (CCP) will return you (ChangeCurrentPassword) only.
- Type two or more words separated by space to indicate that you want any type has all these words.
By selecting any search result automatically VS will take you to the code file containing this search result.
Pretty good!

This is indeed a cool feature. I wonder if they came up with this idea independently, or took it from Delphi? http://blogs.embarcadero.com/mduncan/2009/08/04/rad-studio-2010-ide-insight-part-1/
If we talk about this feature it is existed along ago in a third party tool (Resharper) which is dedicated to VS only as far as I know.
So, may be delphi and Vs took this feature from this nice tool
