    I am using Visual Studio 2008 to program VB.net (of course for ASP.NET related projects). Oncce I have to "Find and Replace" a project in C Sharp, so the "Look at these file types" has *.cs. After that search, while I go back to VB.net projects, whenever I need to do a "Find and Replace", it only search the .cs files. How can I clear the list of file types?

      Are you saying that your FR dialog does not have a combo box titled "Look at these file types"?

        Yes it has the combo box, but the default is ".cs". I want to search for all files. Anyway, I find it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6485783/erasing-the-find-replace-history-on-visual-studio-2010[^]

          Just change the selector in the combo box; I don't see what your problem is.

            Thanks for pointing out the obvious. The point is I don't want to select every time because I use the Find or "Find and Replace" quite frequently. If the file type is default to .cs but all projects I work with have files ending in .vb, I will have a whole heck of time changing that to .vb each time I do a search. Anyway, I have found the solution. Thanks.
