I’m looking for a way to find a string in my entire solution’s code, i.e. just the effective code excluding the comments, in Visual Studio .NET 2008.
I’m working on Visual Basic code, so the comments in that language begin with a single quote '.
What you are looking for is probably Find Symbol (ALT+F12). This should limit your search to symbols in your code, though you probably cannot search for keywords this way. You can tell it to look in your entire solution and even use
Match substringif that’s what you want.
