Using the Tool Window

The Total .NET XRef toolwindow has several controls that make it easier to work with lists of references:

  • Main Toolbar- The main toolbar contains launch points for the program’s top-level functionality.
     

  • The Items List- When you tell Total .NET XRef to find a list of references, it places the list in a grid view along with several columns of information.
     

  • Navigating Through References- You can click on any reference in the list and Total .NET XRef takes you to the code window that contains the reference. This is useful if you need to see all of the places in code that are referred to in the list.
     

  • The Totals Field- The Totals field in the toolwindow’s title bar shows you the total number of references found. This value can be very useful in determining the estimated cost of making a change in code. For more information. Note that the Totals field respects the current filter. For example, if your current filter is only showing 12 of 100 items, the Totals field will show the filtered count, which is 12.

The titlebar of the toolwindow shows the name of the code item you are currently working with.
