Question

This could be an embarassingly easy quesiton but If I search the following using the find dialogue of VS2010 with \{.*?\} I don’t find anything even though it should find { return Stock ==5;}

    internal bool IsUnableToBeSet //{}
    {
        get { return Stock == 5; }
    }

if I search this in NotePad++ it works. What am I doing wrong in the VS2010 environment?
(I’ve unchecked all options except for “Use Regular expressions” )

[EDIT]

I’ve just read the coding horror site for VS2005 but is this still the case and can I convert the expressions easily?

Answer 1

VS2010 still has the custom regex syntax, but VS2012 has switched to the standard syntax. For VS2010, the query you want would be

\{.@\}
