For each of your source files, the Explorer displays all method objects as
method nodes under the Methods () category
node. Property information about each method is presented in its Explorer icon
and property sheet. Each node's contextual menu contains commands that you can
execute on the method or on the entire class.
You can double-click any method node in the Explorer to jump to its method declaration in the Source Editor. To add a method, right-click the Methods category node and choose Add Method. A property editor opens in which you can specify basic information for the new method, such as modifiers and parameters.
You can view a method's property sheet by right-clicking its node and choosing Properties. You can edit the method's properties in the property sheet itself, or by right-clicking the method node and choosing Customize. The node's contextual menu also contains commands for copying, cutting, pasting, and deleting the method.
The node's contextual menu also contains a Tools submenu. Any commands you choose from the this submenu are executed on the entire class.
