Go-to-definition in C# files on Razor generated code does not bring me to .razor file

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

In blazor I have this line private MyComp comp1; the caret is on MyComp (after y); I hit F12 to go to type (MyComp.razor), but nothing happens (MyComp is in another project in the same solution)

Thank you for taking the time to log this issue!
I can’t repro it with following steps:

Create two BlazorApp projects(BlazorApp1 and BlazorApp2) in same solution.
In BlazorApp1, add BlazorApp2 as project reference .
Add new class(Class1.cs) in BlazorApp1, add new class(Class2.cs) in BlazorApp2.
In Class1.cs write this code: private Class2 comp;
Place the mouse over Class2(after a), then hit F12.
I can go to the definition. Did I miss any steps? If so, can you provide the repro steps or a sample project?
We look forward to hearing from you!

they have to be in a razor file like this:

@code {
    private Counter counter1;
    private Component1 component1;
}

this way F12 won’t do anything;
if you put it in a .razor.cs partial class like this:

namespace BlazorApp7.Pages
{
    public partial class Index2
    {
        private Counter counter1;
        private Component1 component1;
    }
}

F12 will give you a message box:
“Cannot navigate to symbol under the caret”

seems it doesn’t even need to be in a different project
