SonicFileFinder is a free add-in for Visual Studio that allows a fast and convenient search for any file within every Project of the loaded Solution by entering the complete filename or just a part of it. The found file(s) can either be edited with a single keystroke or a Windows Explorer / CommandLine prompt can be opened at the file's location.
Version 2.1 is a small add-on release to 2.0.
Note: SonicFileFinder now requires .NET Framework 3.5 to run!
Download it on the SonicFileFinder website.

thank you for this perfect tool.
But the latest version requires framework 3.5, I cannot install it on my 2.0 + vs2005 dev machine.
Is there a place where i can download the older versions?
Thanks!

Hi there, this is a great
Fri, 2009-05-29 16:15 by ReTox (not verified)Hi there,
this is a great plugin - I've been using it from version 1.7
However, there is one feature that will (I think) improve the usability - to display the file icon next to the name if possible.
It will be helpful especially for web development - a lot of files have same name, but sometimes I need codebehind file, sometimes html, etc.
Anyway, good job!
Thank you so much

I'll put the feature on the feature list, but I can't promise anything ;)
SonicFileFinder crashs with VB WebSite Solution
Fri, 2009-04-03 21:35 by iguane39 (not verified)Hi Jens,
this is a great plugin for VS2008.
I have a Web Application in C#, this works pretty well, but I also have a VB WebSite Application and your plugin crashed it when I want to start the Solution.
Do you know what's wrong with this kind of project ?
Do you have a issues list where all troubles are referenced ?
Thanks for your help.
iguane39.
Sorry!
Sun, 2009-05-31 18:43 by Jens Schaller...for replying so late, but I recognized your comment yesterday, because no notification e-mail has been send.
I can't stage your problem here, but I will get back to you by e-mail in a few minutes.

Just wanted to say thanks for putting together SonicFinder. I got hooked on a way to quickly get to files after using Mac's textmate - it's really addictive and, more importantly, effective.
Needless to say, being able to have this same functionality in Visual Studio is freakishly helpful.
Thanks much!
