Visual Studio features - am I missing them in Rider?

In Visual Studio, when I have a C# class open, at the top of the file are 3 dropdowns as shown below.  The right most dropdown with the methods is something we use all the time.  Is this feature available in Rider?  I'm not seeing it and it's one of those annoying things keeping us from switching from VS.

Also, is there an option to register a sql server in Rider?  I can use the Databases tab to get to a single database, but I'm not seeing a way to connect to the server like SSMS in order to run jobs and do more admin type of stuff.  Thanks.

There is structure view (which you can open using Alt+7). I think this is the closest you will get

Regarding the database: you can register a wide range of database connections using Rider's builtin database support. You can show the database tool window Using `View -> Tool Windows -> Database`. Also, if you have a SQL statement inside your code or a SQL file open, Rider should prompt you to create a database connection

Hello,

Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have such a tool. While there are a few methods to introduce feature requests, I think your best choice here would be to use our tracker here and submit a request. On the tracker, others can see your request and add their vote if they find such a tool would be useful. It helps our team to better understand which features/tools our users are eager for. I believe this can help give the best visibility for your request.

This feature is also not available yet. There is an open request in our tracker, please upvote it to indicate your interest and click Watch to subscribe to future status updates.

Have a nice day!
