How recent? The version I've got is just a few weeks old and it doesn't do it. Only if you select 'find references'. Anyway this is something that has been anoying me for a while. Thanks alot!

Yeah RockScroll is great - also highlights breakpoints with a red dot on the right and changed lines with orange down the left (with saved changes in blue).
You may find with RockScroll that every once in a while when you close a file / tab in VS and it won't close properly (all syntax highlighting disappears so it seems like VS thinks the file is closed) - you can't actually close that file now until you shutdown VS, but this is very rare.

I’ve finally found a vs plugin that emulates the word highlighting of the excellent (and opensource) Notepad++.
Basically, whenever you doubleclick to select a word, all the occurrences of that word in the sourcecode are automatically highlighted.
"At last! Double-click highlighting in VS!"

One of the recent versions of Visual Assist also added this feature.
