Where can I find a dimension structure tab in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019? Is there a shortcut for it?
I think I found an answer. You just have to simply double click on one of your created dimensions in the solution explorer.
On past versions of Blend For Visual Studio, I used to edit Styles and Templates from Resource Dictionaries under the "Resource" tab, usually on right side of the screen.
On last updates off Visual Studio 2019, this tab disappeared. Had it been removed?
Thanks.
The Resources tab will appear only if you open App.xaml file.
Then you can open another xaml file and Resources tab will be there until you close all tabs.
It's either a bug or really weird behavior.
I somehow managed to close the visual design tab of my project where you drag component from the toolbox to. I've tried every view I can think of. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 if anyone can tell me how to re-open the design view(not the code) that'd be great as I don't know my way around every aspect of visual studio.
When you right-click the "FormName.vb" file in Solution Explorer, you can click "View Designer." Alternatively, you can click "Open With..." and choose Visual Basic Form Editor from the list.
Try using XXX.Designer.cs from your Solution Explorer
hope it'll help
When using the design view in VS 2012, if you right click on an element and select one of the templates from Edit Template or Edit Additional Templates, it takes you to a new view within the designer.
This may be a silly question, but how do I navigate back out to the main view?
In Blend, I just use the little up arrow next to the template name but that doesn't seem to exist in VS.
One way to return is to double-click on the artboard, just outside the template area.
Another, that is more in line with what you are used to from Blend can be found in the Document Outline panel. There is that little arrow.
In Visual Studio 2008, when you add a new XAML window to a WPF Application Project, the default view you get is "split view" where the visual designer and the XAML code are shown one above the other in the same document.
I prefer an alternative view which you can get by double-clicking on either the Design or XAML tabs. The visual designer and the XAML are in separate side-by-side tabbed views. This makes it easy to switch between them
I want to know if it possible to make this the default view for all new XAML documents I add to my project, and where in the options you would set it.
Tools/Options/Text Editor/Xaml/Miscellaneous, check the "Always open documents in full XAML view"
