I remember that in previous installations of Visual Studio that I had, when I used the ‘go to definition’ option on a type that was not in the current solution it would display a tab showing the type as reflected from metadata. My current installation goes directly to the Object Browser. I prefered seeing the metadata version.
Is there any way of choosing what the default behaviour is, or is this something that changed between versions of VS?
Thanks in advance!

“The Code Definition window is a read-only editor view that displays the definition of a symbol in a code file stored in, or referenced by, the active project. To display this window, select Code Definition Window from the View menu. When the window first opens, it displays the definition for the last symbol selected. If no definition is available, No definition selected is displayed. This window can be docked along any convenient edge of the integrated development environment (IDE). By default, it is displayed beneath the Code Editor. “
