In Visual Studio, is there a window which shows list of methods in the active class? A small window like the Solution Explorer would be great. In Eclipse, there is one.

The answer is
In Visual Studio 2019, there is the "Go To Member" action located in Edit - Go To that is mapped by default to ALT+\. I think this was added in Visual Studio 2017.
This is what pops up which provides the desired functionality and a couple of options:
In Visual Studio 2015, View > Other Windows > Resource View. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+E. I find this cleaner than Class View. With Class View Windows you can filter methods/attributes based on access modifier (private/protected/public) etc.
A nice clean way to do this is to use View.SynchronizeClassView.
Additionally you can:
- pin your Class view window
- collapse the top pane (listing all the classes)
And now it feels just like the Visual Assist's feature "List Methods in Current File" (which also list members btw).
There is no direct equivalent to the Outline View in Eclipse. The closest thing I've found is the Class View, which lists all classes and their members/methods. There is a search box at the top to narrow the selection.
grep -i " sub " filename.vb > methods.txt grep -i " function " filename.vb >> methods.txt
In VS 2012, just go to View > Class View...then you get the Class View GUI in the main tab area. Now, drag this over to the side dock and you have the exact same layout as you would in Eclipse.

My best way to do this is, that i open the Code Definition Window, under View -> Code Definition Window or press Ctrl + W,D .
And then i got it floated and i have the definitions of methods in separate windows.

At the top of your text editor, you should have a dropdown that lists all the methods, properties etc in the current type; and it's clickable (even if those members are defined in other files - in which case they're greyed out but you can still navigate with them).
Also, if you use the Class Explorer (Ctrl+Alt+C) to navigate your project, then you'll get a full overview of all your types. However, there doesn't appear to be a setting in Tools/Options that allows you to track the active type in that window (there is for the solution explorer) - perhaps a macro or addin is in order...
I found how to turn the drop down on as shown in the first answer (@ChrisF):
Go to Options->Text Editor->(your language)
and tick "Navigation bar" in the display section.
Despite it's an old question maybe this answer help you as helped me.
you can download codemaid extension from here : codemaid website
it has a lot of functionality that you may find in their website.
the one that is related to this question is code digging
Visualize and navigate through the contents of your C# and C++ files from a tree view hierarchy. Quickly switch between different sorting methods to get a better overview. Drag and drop to reorganize the code. See McCabe complexity scores and informative tool tips.
in other words it give you ability to see the methods and properties and also reorganize them just with drag and drop. it's my everyday use extension
ReSharper has a 'ReSharper | Windows | File Structure' window, which is used for visualizing current code file structure.
Resharper has the File Structure window which is very similar to eclipse outline view. Originally answered in:

Since Visual Studio 2012, you can view the outline ( fields and methods) in the solution explorer by expanding the node corresponding to your file .
With Visual Studio 2010
You choose Tools->Settings->Expert Settings
On the left-bottom corner, you will see the tab "Class View" right next tab "Solution Explorer"
In the top area of "Class View" layout, you will see the list of class name, enum, struct, ... In the bottom area of "Class View layout, you will see the list of member for these class, enum or struct
In Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 you can try the Source Code Outliner Power Toy.
Microsoft doesn't feel like implementing this useful tool, but if by chance you can have Visual Assist, you have it in VAssistX > Tools > VA Outline. The plugin is not free though.
Shortcut to Navigation Bar is Ctrl+F2. Takes you to the types dropdown first. Press tab to go to method dropdown, and then enter on a method to go to that one.
I have been using USysWare DPack since forever. It is very small and not intrusive so if all you want is a quick shortcut window showing list of methods of the current file you are using, it provides just that. Good thing is that the author is still active after more than 10 years just to keep providing the same features into latest VS release.

After installation, just use Alt + M to bring up the method list window. I prefer to show all members instead, but it's up to you.
Do you mean the class view window (View->Class View, or Ctrl+W,C)?
You also have the intellisence popup-window
