    <p>I'm writing my own Visual Studio 2010 Extension that should help me navigating a rather large solution.<br> I already have a dialog based VS Extension that shows me a class name and a function name depending on some search criteria. I now can click this class/method and I then already can open the correct file and jump to the function.<br> What I now want to do is to set the cursor at the start of that function.<br> My code to jump to the function is:</p> <pre><code>Solution currentSolution = ((EnvDTE.DTE)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.10.0")).Solution; ProjectItem requestedItem = GetRequestedProjectItemToOpen(currentSolution.Projects, "fileToBeOpened"); if (requestedItem != null) { // open the document Window window = requestedItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode); window.Activate(); // search for the function to be opened foreach (CodeElement codeElement in requestedItem.FileCodeModel.CodeElements) { // get the namespace elements if (codeElement.Kind == vsCMElement.vsCMElementNamespace) { foreach (CodeElement namespaceElement in codeElement.Children) { // get the class elements if (namespaceElement.Kind == vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass) { foreach (CodeElement classElement in namespaceElement.Children) { try { // get the function elements if (classElement.Kind == vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction) { if (classElement.Name.Equals("functionToBeOpened", StringComparison.Ordinal)) { classElement.StartPoint.TryToShow(vsPaneShowHow.vsPaneShowTop, null); this.Close(); } } } catch { } } } } } } } </code></pre> <p>The important points here are <code>window.Activate();</code> to open the correct file and <code>classElement.StartPoint.TryToShow(vsPaneShowHow.vsPaneShowTop, null);</code> to jump to the correct function.<br> Unfortunately the cursor is not set to the start of the requested function. How can I do this? I'm thinking of something like <code>classElement.StartPoint.SetCursor()</code>.<br> Cheers Simon</p>

    1. COCyclomatically complex? Also, looks like you aren't bailing out of the method when you find what you're looking for, which might have some side effects (WAG).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
