There are a few posts on here regarding how to find all derived classes from a given class programatically (Get all inherited classes of an abstract class), but none that I can see when using Visual Studio (2015).

I'm looking at the 'Object Browser' window and I'm surprised such a feature doesn't exist. Am I doing something wrong or is there really no way to find out?

    I have ReSharper installed so the menu item may be from that tool but if you right-click the class name (I did it in the source code editor), do you have a "Go to implementation" menu item there? Does it give you a popup of the descendants? – Lasse V. Karlsen Dec 08 '16 at 09:04

No, there is not. Visual Studio doesn't support that.

There are some third party tools that can do this for you:

  • JetBrains Resharper
  • Redgate Reflector
