I’ve inherited a ASP/VB6 code base (not my forte… yet) and I’m trying tease it apart to figure out the cause on an error message I’m receiving when running the app.
I’ve traced it back through an event that is being raised in on of my classes. Is there away in windows I can search the bulk of the code base for where it is being consumed? Ctrl-F (and selecting Current Project) has not sufficed.
The linux geek in me is saying dump it to a insert distro box and just grep for the sucker. But there’s got to be some way in the IDE to do it… right?
If you have any new version of VS (2003,5,8) installed, just use the ‘Find in Files’ feature and point it at the VB6 folders.
Other than that, most ‘notepad’ replacements (textpad, notepad+) offer a ‘Find in Files’ as well.
