For each of your source files, the Explorer displays all field objects as field
nodes under the Fields ()
category node. Property information about each field is presented in its Explorer
icon and property sheet. Double-click any field node to jump to its field declaration
in the Source Editor.
You can view a field's property sheet by right-clicking its node in the Explorer and choosing Properties. You can edit the field's properties in the property sheet itself, or by right-clicking the field node and choosing Customize. The node's contextual menu also contains commands for copying, cutting, pasting, and deleting the field.
The contextual menu for field nodes also contains a Tools submenu. The commands in the Tools submenu let you perform a variety of actions on the class, such as overriding inherited methods, synchronizing changes, and localizing your code. Any commands you choose from the the Tools submenu are executed on the entire class.
