Visual Studio.Net tool I didn't know about

One of those things I have long believed is there is potential for really cool things to be hidden in the Visual Studio.Net IDE and I wont know about them.

I found out it was very true last week. Someone introduced me to "Code Definition Window" (shortcut Ctrl-\, Ctrl-d).

You probably already know about the right-click option Go to Definition. This does that one better. It is a tool window that displays the definition of whatever your cursor is on in a read only window.

It is kind of like the second code window you always wanted.
