VS 2008 File Finder is an updated version of Jonathan Payne's VSFileFinder2005.

Changes:

- I've rewritten the source code from C# to VB.NET (why? because I know vb.net better and it was a great learning experience).
- I've added an export to CSV feature to export the list box contents to a comma delimated file.

The majority of code is just rehashed from Jonathan's orginal source code. 

 The code can be downloaded from here:  http://www.huffs.us/vs2008filefinder/vs2008_File_Finder_Source_Code.zip

The installer can be found here: http://www.huffs.us/vs2008filefinder/VS2008FileFinder.msi

Overview of File Finder:

VS2008FileFinder is a Visual Studio 2008 Add-In that helps you find files quickly in large projects. It can list files from all the project types that Visual Studio supports.

After installing, you will need to go to Tools -> Add-Ins Manager and check VS2008 File Finder and Startup.

This can be far quicker than the Solution Explorer or the file open dialog in large projects as files can be spread over many folders and you might only remember part of a file name.

There are options to highlight or exclude files based on the file name so you can quickly get to the files you want.  To get to the options go to Tools -> Options and select VSFileFinder2008 under Environment.
