Visual Studio addin; to highlight all words which match selected word?

While using NotePad++, and select a certain word, it automatically highlights all matched words?

Does anyone know if there is a Visual Studio addin that can do this? or are there any hidden environment setting that can do this?

I believe Visual Assist can do that. This can be switched on in Settings -> Refactoring -> Automatically highlight references to symbol under cursor.
