Hi,

Is it possible to use Microsoft Visual Studio as a assembly language source code navigation tool ( with features viz. cross reference to various procedures ,macro definitions etc).

I am not able to get conclusive answers through google:dazzled:, if MS Visual Studio supports these features for assembly language.

If you are referring to Intellisense, Visual Studio would open an .asm source code file, and you can edit it just like you would with a normal text file,
...but, the Intellisense feature would NOT work, because many of the code parameters of assembly source code would be interprated as Illegal in any other higher language.   
You can, however, write an extension for Visual Studio,...in fact, it is designed for that purpose.
