Visual Studio Tips & Tricks #4

Did you know … You can press Ctl+\, D to view the code definition.

The default keyboard shortcut for the Code Definition Window is Ctrl+\, D.  The Visual Studio command is View.CodeDefinitionWindow, in case your keyboard bindings differ.

Instead of doing an Edit.GoToDefinition (or a right-click and Go To Definition), you can use the Code Definition Window.  When your cursor is on an object, the Code Definition Windows automatically updates to show the object’s definition.  (It even works for framework objects!)
