Can anyone recommend a good utility that can quickly examine all SDK files in a folder to determine which files have a specified text. For example, if I wanted to find out how many files have "m_iAlignment", the utility would return only the file names in the dirrectory which contain the reference "m_iAlignment". It sure would help speed up my SDK file searches.

Nevermind. I figured out how to get Explorer to perform internal searches.
 
Visual Studio can search every file in a solution/project (or just the files you have open, or just the current file, or files in a specified set of folders that are not part of the project) for specified text. So if you are set up to build the DLL, you are set up to search for things in those files.

Also, if you right click on something (variable or function name) there should be a "Find All References" item in the pop-up menu. I have had some weirdness using this, though (like on occasion it doesn't show some references that I know exist, and if I search for the text string it finds them).
