Scout is a navigation plugin for ReSharper. A licensed copy of JetBrains ReSharper must be installed on the target system.

The installer supports ReSharper version 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.5. For any other version it is possible to build the plugin from sources.

ReSharper 5.0 has build-in support for reference sources. And there is Reflector Power Toy for ReSharper. Check out ReSharper->Options->External sources.

Version 1.1 does support offline reference source. Instructions:

• Set regional settings to US English (required).
• Reboot (required).
• Download all files you need from http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx
• Run each installer one by one.
• DO NOT install them to D:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount\My Documents\RefSrc\ or something like that. Enter a much shorter path, say D:\RefSrc. Otherwise some files will be unaccessible since the path length will exceed 255 characters.
• Set regional settings back to what is was before.
• Reboot.
• Enjoy.

Scout plugin includes following features:

• Browsing with Red Gate Reflector.
• Navigation to .Net framework source code.

For VS2005 srcsrv.dll & symsrv.dll must be copied from Debugging tools folder to "VisualStudioRoot\Common7\IDE folder". Also, .Net Framework 2.0 SP1/SP2 must be installed.
