Copy code reference to clipboard
View | Copy Code Reference…
When you need to log or share the context of the current location, such as the name of the symbol under the caret or its XML-documentation ID, you can press and copy the desired reference from a popup:
When you invoke this command on any symbol (declaration or usage), it automatically copies its fully-qualified name to the clipboard. If you need the name or namespace only, you can choose those in the popup.
You may need the fully-qualified name of a symbol in different situations, for example, when you use reflection.
When you invoke this command within a namespace, type, or a member, you can choose XML-Doc ID from the popup to copy the XML-documentation ID of the enclosing entity. You can use this ID when referencing this entity in XML-doc comments of other symbols. For more information about the ID format, refer to Processing the XML File (C# Programming Guide).
For example, for the method MyMethod declared as
namespace MyNamespace
{
class MyClass
{
void MyMethod(){}
}
}the XML-doc ID will be M:MyNamespace.MyClass.MyMethod
