Visual Studio: Refresh "Find All References" results

Question

The Find All References tool is very useful, but I often find myself wishing I could refresh the results, such as:

• After changing one of the listed lines such that it no longer references what I did "Find all References" on.
• After adding or removing some lines of code, which messes up the "double-click to go to line" feature of the "Find All References" window.

As far as I can tell, there's no way to refresh the results, but I find this hard to believe. Am I overlooking something or is this really a missing feature?

I'm aware I can go to some place where the method/variable/etc. is used, right-click it, and do "Find All References" again, but that's much more tedious than just hitting a Refresh button.

Answer 1

After more investigation, this isn't currently possible. However, there's a request for it in the VS community forum. If you think a Refresh for "Find" or "Find All References" would be useful, please vote for the following requests:

• Add a "refresh" button to "find references" (Shift-F12) window
• Add a 'Refresh' Button to Find Results tabs
