Finding a file or class quickly from a solution In VS?

If in one solution there are many projects, and each of them has a large number of .cs files. In addition, there may be another class in one file.

So, I want to ask: how to quickly find a file or class?

I really don't like to use ctrl+F every time.

Is there any plugin if I press the CTRL+SHIFT+R button, it will open a window showing a list of classes or a list of files and I can enter the keyword that I would like to find.

Then, when I double-click the result, the file will be opened for me.

In VS2010, at least there is a Navigate To function. It indexes file names, classes, and methods for quick searches. Press Ctrl + , (comma) to open the dialog:

Also, if you don't pay (and get extra features), Visual Assist X and ReSharper , both of which, I believe, support VS2008 / VS2010 and have source navigation features.

You can try the Power Tool Performance extension for VS2010. He adds a new menu called "Solution Navigator", which has an autoload search box that allows you to search for your solution.

It has many other features, and I highly recommend it.
