Introduction

Using this Add in, you can find the SQL stored procedure and open it within the VS IDE. I found it very useful.

Step 1: Install the Add-in and activate it in your VS.NET from tools->addin manager.

Step 2: You must have a Database project for your solution which is the most popular case.

Step 3: Copy file (XMLFile.xml) to your C:\ drive and put in it the path for your Database application.

<Path>C:\FileNet_VSS\Passports\Development\FNDevFramework\FNSysDB</Path> 

Just highlight the name of the SP in your Middle-Tier and click SPViewer icon.

The Code

Every SP begins with the Create statement in the *.sql file:

CREATE Procedure dbo.SP_NationalityCodes_Get

Or without the dbo:

CREATE Procedure SP_NationalityCodes_Get

This is the main idea of the search.

This is the first method:

applicationObject.Find.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetSolution;
applicationObject.Find.FindWhat=string.Format("CREATE Procedure dbo.{0}",sp); 
applicationObject.Find.PatternSyntax=vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxLiteral;
applicationObject.Find.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionFind;
applicationObject.Find.MatchCase=false;
applicationObject.Find.MatchWholeWord=true;
applicationObject.Find.SearchPath=path;
applicationObject.Find.ResultsLocation = 
vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResults1;
applicationObject.Find.FilesOfType="*.sql";
applicationObject.Find.SearchSubfolders=true;
EnvDTE.vsFindResult res = applicationObject.Find.Execute();

If there is no result, an exception will be thrown. This is the second method:

catch( Exception s)
{
applicationObject.Find.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetSolution;
applicationObject.Find.FindWhat=string.Format("CREATE Procedure {0}",sp); 
applicationObject.Find.PatternSyntax=vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxLiteral;
applicationObject.Find.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionFind;
applicationObject.Find.MatchCase=false;
applicationObject.Find.MatchWholeWord=true;
applicationObject.Find.SearchPath=path;
applicationObject.Find.ResultsLocation = 
vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResults1;
applicationObject.Find.FilesOfType="*.sql";
applicationObject.Find.SearchSubfolders=true;
applicationObject.Find.Execute();
}

Special thanks to my brother mohammed barqawi.

Hope it will be helpful for you.
