In Visual Studio 2010, when you set your cursor on a particular symbol, you’ll notice a new feature, Reference Highlighting. As you can see, this provides subtle highlights to all the usages of that particular symbol in your current code file. You can even navigate directly back and forth through all the lines that reference that symbol by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ [UP ARROW| DOWNARROW].  This is much faster and more useful than hitting CTRL+F and then clicking on “Find Next” when it comes to looking for a particular item in your code.
