Yup, 2019. There do seem to be a small issue though in vs2022 where -

Quote:
the ‘Peek Definition’ function (or pressing Alt-F12) on some code opens the peek window, but doesn’t scroll to the target code, but shows the top of the file.

as seen at - BUG in VS2022 on Visual Basic code when click on Peek Definition doesn't show the element, shows the file where is declared at the first line.[^]. It does not seem to have a solution yet though.

It makes you wonder just how "robust" the code is, when a feature that's worked fine for at least 7 years gets broken in a new version even when it's not being changed. D'Oh! | :doh:

I know about the Peek definition option, but still prefer to use "Go to Definition" and after that the Navigate backward button on the toolbar.
Old habits die hard I guess ...

If you have a mouse with a back button (usually the one around your thumb), same as going back in a browser, it works to go back in VS.

Microsoft is slowly over time, integrating all the most useful features of Resharper, into Visual Studio, with the hope of one day making Resharper obsolete, thus making VS even better and more useful.

"Peek Definition" was being written about in 2014, not entirely sure when it started exactly, but approx. 10 years, give or take.

It's in my copy of VS 2015 Community Edition ... which is what I'm still using, and use Peek Definition a lot...

LOL, totally agree!

Seems ChatGPT is a point of discussion today, I just posted a sample usage as well from one of our Q&A's.

For the dev that created the WormGPT, ouch, imagine what people can do with this! IF the returned code is worth the while...
