Members Pane
The members pane reacts to the selections made in the objects pane by displaying all the members (properties, events, constants, variables, enums) defined on the selected type. Each member has a distinctive icon to immediately convey information such as scope and type; even member signatures show up here. (Note that the same signal icons used by the objects pane, and documented in Table 5.7, are used here as well.)
The members pane is ideal for quickly visualizing type behavior and attributes: Just select the class/type in the objects pane and browse its members in the members pane.
Note
Many developers find that the bulk of their development tasks are more easily envisioned and acted on within the Class View window rather than in the Solution Explorer window. The available actions among the two are virtually identical, but the Class View window provides a much more code-focused perspective of your projects. Developers can spelunk through inheritance trees and see, at a glance, other various members implemented on each defined type within their projects. The downside to using the Class View is that source code control information is not visually surfaced here.
The members pane also exposes the ability to immediately view the definition code for a member, to find every code location where the selected member is referenced, and to launch the Object Browser with the primary node for the member already selected for you.
The capability to alter the filter and display settings is also presented here. Figure 5.9 illustrates all the available commands on this menu.
