Tracking active item in Solution Explorer

Published 08-29-2007 3:28 PM | jokiz

I find it hard when the currently active code sheet or item is not highlighted in solution explorer and there were times when i couldn't easily see where the option is so this is for my future reference.

VS 2003:  Tools->Options->Environment->Projects and Solution
VS 2005:  Tools->Options->Projects and Solution

nice tips. VS Team should enable this by default.

nice tip ;) kanina lang i was cursing VS 2005 for making it confusing for me to edit two similarly-named .cs files in two separate projects/namespaces. pwede naman pala i highlight. great! :)

I like to be in control. I map Ctrl-9 to View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer and press the keys when I need to find out where I am in the Solution Explorer.
