Add functionality that is similar to VS's code clone analysis.
At least for C#

Are you asking for this feature in C#, or asking for us to look at and try duplicating this C# feature? I don't recognise this feature, but a quick search got me to this page:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh205279.aspx

which talks about this being available in C#.

Are you trying to analyse your entire solution, or are you looking for VA to be more helpful when you are using Extract Method?

Yes - this is the feature. It is only available in VS Enterprise so having similar functionality for those of us with only VS Professional would be great!

The feature request is for the whole solution.

See this open source tool that does great things (free for personal use but not commercial):

Perhaps work with them to license and put a nice GUI on top?

Unfortunately this is not something we are currently considering doing. We are looking into the idea of having Extract Method look for duplicates of the extracted code, and offering to replace those as well with a function call, but this would be looking for exact matches, and based on code you are already extracting.
