Visual Studio help.

Hi guys!

I started like 6 month ago, did it for a month (finished the class) and after I finished it, I stopped programing until now. Now it's part two and my Visual Studios seems to have changed settings since I reinstalled it.

When I highlight an integer, let's say "int remNum5", it used to highlight all those integers (remNum5) in the code so I could easily find them. Now it does not highlight any of the repeating ints at all.

Anyone knows what this function is called or how to activate it?

Thanks in advance!

With your variable highlighted, try ctrl+F3 once, that might highlight them all. (it does on mine - vs2013)

It does, thank you mate!

Tho wasn't this function a default one back in the days? Do you know how to activate it so it automatically highlights them all without having to press ctrl+F3?

I don't know i'm afraid mate.
i also use Vs1010 for another project and if i double click a variable it does higlight the other instances of it in that file, but not very boldly to be honest.

edit: I've just found this:

dunno if it's any use?

Thanks alot!

I've been searching all over internet and didn't find it :P
It works now, it somehow wasn't checked for me by default :/

Thanks again!
