Find out where a variable is initialized

Question

I have a class with variable “test” in my project. I need to find out at which page of the project/solution this “test” get initialized. Do we have any short cut keys for this, other than Ctl+F and look for entire project.

Answer 1

Answer 2

You can right-click it, then Find All References, looking for = new, or if you prefer, Ctrl-K, R.

Answer 3

Very similar to @George's answer, but I prefer a Ctrl+Shift+F (Find In Files). Does about the same thing as Find All References, but doesn't have to compile anything to do it.

As for specifically looking for the initialization, a find in files of text:b*= (making sure Use Regular expressions is on), would find any place where you assigned to text.

This is assuming you didn't mean Ctrl+Shift+F in your question.
