For each of your source files, the Explorer displays all field objects as field nodes under the Fields (Fields category node icon) 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.

The contextual menu for field nodes 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 Tools submenu are executed on the entire class.
