In the latest VAX, I'm finding that Find References is now missing references that it used to find. I don't have a small test case yet, but casually, it looks like the missing references are from other projects than the current project. I just did Find References on a utility typedef from a .h file that is used all over our system, and the only references it found were 11 references from the same project that the .h file lives in. (In contrast, Find In Files turned up 3298 matching lines for this symbol throughout our solution.) Is this now a configuration option or something that I need to turn on?
VA_X.dll file version 10.8.2029.0 built 2014.02.24 DevEnv.exe version 9.0.30729.1 Professional msenv.dll version 9.0.30729.1 Font: Courier New 13 (pixels) Comctl32.dll version 6.10.7601.17514
Is this a new install, or have you upgraded to a new version of VA, on a machine where you were already using VA?
If you have upgraded then your existing settings should have been preserved. For a new install this is the new default behaviour for Find References. It speeds up searching in large solutions with many projects, and can be easily changed if it does not help. Working out the correct default behaviour is always a little tricky, hopefully this default won't cause to many problems.
Find References restricted to current project?
