Listed under the name of the solution is each project, together with the various components of the project. Near the top, just under the search box, is the name of the solution with an indication of how many projects it contains. If you click on the small triangle to the left of
This will return the Solution Explorer to its initial view, where you can double-click the solution to select Solution view. To return to Solution view, click the icon indicated by the arrow in the above figure. (note the indication “Folder View” at the top and the absence of any boldface line), then it is in Folder view. If your Solution Explorer ever looks like this: As a result, you can end up with a solution that is unusable. You ordinarily will not want to use Folder view, as this will cause files to be edited without any syntax or consistency checking. You will normally want to see the Solution view, which you can get by double clicking the line that ends in “.sln”. The repository given in the previous section should result in theįollowing being shown in the Solution Explorer: The structure of your solution for example, opening the solution in (which you can always find on the “View” menu) will give you a view of Whenever you open a solution in Studio 2022, the Solution Explorer In this section, we will focus on solutions that contain exactly one project, which in turn belongs to no other solutions (e.g., Solution1 in the above figure). Note that in the above figure, Project4 is contained in both Solution2 and Solution3. The following figure illustrates some of the possible relationships between solutions, projects, and files. Each file will typically belong to only one project.
#How to open multiple solutions in visual studio code#
Each project typically contains several files, including source code files. Each of these projects may belong to more than one solution. A solution will contain one or more projects.
When you are using Visual Studio to develop a program, you will be working with a single solution. This is somewhat beyond the scope of this article, but head on over to the following article: Extending the Solution Explorer Filterĭefinitely something nice and fun to play around with.All code developed within Visual Studio 2022 must belong to one or more solutions. So if I’m right, you might be wondering at this point in time if you can create your own custom filters for the Visual Studio Solution Explorer. Perfect for when you have to make changes or even when you need to stay focused on specific files only. The second filter will only show you those files that are currently open in your IDE. This is really nice when you want to compare files that are projects apart perhaps. If you clicked on the Pending Changes Filter you will see that the Solution Explorer filters out everything but the files in your solution that have pending changes. The Pending Changes Filter and the Open Files Filter. Currently there are two filters that you can choose from. Navigate Back To SolutionĪnother great tip is the filters button. This is a really neat trick and I’m betting that it will in some way allow you to be more focused on your current development task at hand. If you want to go back and see all the projects in your solution, simply click on the Back button in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer. I can almost call it the Shift+Alt+Enter equivalent for the Solution Explorer. This helps in a way to get rid of the clutter around you while coding. The Visual Studio Solution Explorer will then scope itself to only that project you selected earlier. I used Visual Studio for years without ‘discovering’ it. If you haven’t noticed this menu item before, don’t feel alone. Right click on one of your projects and select the Scope to This menu item. The Visual Studio Solution Explorer provides a way for developers to focus a bit more on the code you are currently busy with via a context menu item called Scope to This. It has 16 projects and isn’t all that huge in the grand scheme of things (Clone CodeContracts from GitHub and see that monster). The screen shot below is of a project I’m currently working on. So I’m going to dispense with the pleasantries and jump right in. There is much more to the Visual Studio Solution Explorer than meets the eye. But yet, there it is, an indispensable tool of sheer brilliance waiting to be discovered. The Visual Studio Solution Explorer is the one part of the IDE that I’m betting most developers use so often, it tends to melt away in the background of ‘doing one’s job’.
