Visual Studio 2013 - link back to the top of the code section

[Craig321]

Not too sure how to best explain this, but a guy at work who recently left had a feature switched on, or installed in Visual Studio 2013 that would show him where the top of the curly brace/code section is when the top of that section disappeared off the page.

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to ask him, but it was an awesome feature!

So basically you'd have:

if(blah blah)
{
    // etc...
} --------------> link would be here, clicking it would take you back to the top of the if statement if it disappeared off the top of the screen

Don't know if that makes sense

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[Edit]
The links were a little like CodeLens, but we have Professional 2013 here.

Yeah that looks right. Definitely wasn't ReSharper else I'd know about it and would have assigned the licence over to me when he left

Will give CodeMaid a try.

[Edit]
Not quite CodeMaid unfortunately.

Hmmmm

 

[Craig321]

Hmmm, I suppose he could have, but then he left the licence on there if he did as I used the machine a few times after he left. I stupidly forgot to check plugins etc. before I formatted today as I forgot he had this awesome feature on there!

[Edit]
Realised that might sound like I would have stolen his licence . I wouldn't, just wanted to know what it was!

Will try ReSharper tomorrow.

Does anyone know the 'rules' regarding using a personal resharper licence at work? Can the licence be moved so if/when I leave I can take it with? And can the personal licence even be used within a company?

Ah ok, so I can't get the £109 one, I would need the £182 one to be legal?

Thanks Dj_Jestar

Gonna give the trial a proper go at work tomorrow, looks pretty good. It's one of those things that I've heard everyone talk about but never really looked into!

[Edit]
Can't find the feature in ReSharper at the moment!

 

[Craig321]

It's VSCommands. Nice one, thank you!

Still going to give ReSharper a proper try though, looks like it has some awesome features.
