Autohidden code in Visual Studio .NET 2005

Hi everybody.

First of all; NICE work with the new Visual Studio .NET 2005. We have come a long way in intuitive development, but VS.NET still amazes me.

My question: Where are all the hidden code in VS.NET 2005 gone to I know that most of all code is hidden into class separation (using the .designer.xx files), but I really used the dropdowns for overriding code etc. The two dropdowns on top of the code, would show all overload able methods as "non-bold", but I can't find these in VS.NET 2005.

They do in fact be listed within intellisence, but isn't there any way to switch back to the old classic' Vs.NET 2003 view mode

Regards
R

Hidden code: In Solution Explorer click the icon "Show All Files" and you will see that if you expand for instance Form1.vb you will see also a From1.Designer.vb.

Overriding code: instead of using the dropdown the new way is to type
overrides
in the code editor and the list of available overridable methods/property will be displayed in Intellisense after you hit the space bar

No, sorrry, you cannot do it anymore from the dropdown.
If you want to have an overview of the class structure you can still use Class View (View--> Other Windows---> Class View), Object Browser, or the new Class Diagram (right click on the class in solution explorer or class view and choose View Class Diagram)

As laid out in my question I was aware of this approach. I was looking for another way to do the excact same thing, as in VS.NET 2003. But it seems not to be a feature in VS.NET 2005... sad, as it helped a quicker understanding of the code, without knowing all of the classes in the - I might add - very nice framework!

Thanks for the answer.
