Just a note that in VS2008 the Replace in Files and choosing "Entire Solution" does not work as expected. It actually searches and replaces in the entire solution AND in all open documents in the editor. There is already a choice for "All Open Documents". The "Entire Solution" option should be named "Entire Solution and All Open Documents". The documentation does not state this behavior. In my example I had just done a debug session and I have many ATL/CRT/MFC headers and CPP files open in the editor. A search and replace across the "Entire Solution" replaced it in the ATL/CRT/MFC files in the editor as well. I would label this as either a documentation bug, feature bug or clarity bug (Entire Solution is NOT files open in the editor).

Can you submit a bug report on it on the MS Connect site (if you can't find one already) and post a link to your report back here please. Dave
