I am looking for a way/extension to add comments on files, folders and projects in the solution explorer window as a popup or something similar.
The theory is to add small description for some files.
Thank you

Upgrade VS 2019 Professional to latest version 16.10.0. Open an existing SSDT project, double-click on any sql script file in the project, the file can't be opened in a tab window.
If the sql script defines a table, I can see the message: The design surface is loading. I can see the separator between design and script surfaces. If I drag the separator to resize the surfaces, the window gets refreshed and the script will open correct.
If the sql script defines a view or stored procedure, I only see blank tab window. i don't see any messages.
If I restart the VS2019, the previous opened scripts are working fine. But still the same problem whenever I want to open a script which is not opened before the restart.
Here's a link to the root Microsoft tacked issue:

A quick work around to force the editor to re-draw: resize the editor window by dragging the solution explorer re-size bar.
In VS 2019 Community 16.10, I can open one SQL file at a time. So if you shut all your open SQL files, you should be able to get a single one open.
Note: even uninstalling VS and starting with a clean install from the Microsoft site did not help.
Here's a link to the MS discussion of this topic:
https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/t/Cannot-see-content-of-sql-files/1437162?q=%5BVisual+Studio+2019+version+16.10%5D&ftype=problem&space=8&stateGroup=active&sort=newest
I was able to get two SQL windows open at the same time, though it is quite annoying: open both files and detach both from the documents frame so they float. Pick one and move it and size it where you want. The second will disappear as you do this, but never mind.
From the Window menu, select the second file. As you move it and size it, the first one will disappear.
Now select the invisible window from the Window menu. As long as you just move around and work within these two files, you should be able to keep them both open. So this is if you need to be looking at one view while you modify another, or some such thing.
For me, two is the limit. If I try three, only two will be visible.
This was a bug and seems to be fixed in the latest patch 16.10.2 - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes#--visual-studio-2019-version-16102-
Does anyone know how to turn off this annoying popup in Visual Studio Community 2019?
All the answers I see for it are for Visual Studio Code when I google it, which says to change it under the "File" > "Preferences" menu. Visual Studio 2019 doesn't have that menu. I just want to code without visual obstructions from my editor. Driving me nuts. Thank you!
The language is VB in ASP Classic environment.
I have turned off everything I could find that seems like it could be related to a popup under the "Options" menu, but many of the descriptions there are obscure. You could seriously make a full time job out of learning what all this stuff means.
I found an answer, however odd it may be. With #JackArbiter's help in narrowing down the possibilities, it turned out to be the file type within the environment that was the issue. I didn't realize at first that it was only a certain file extension that was creating the issue. The *.asp files behaved appropriately, but the *.inc files were the problem.
I went to "Options" > "Text Editor" > "File Extension" and added the "inc" file extension there with the editor set to Visual Basic. These files now behave the same as the asp files.
Go to Tools>Options>Text Editor>[Your markup or language] and you can adjust the intellisense settings. In your case there will be no intellisense settings listed (general HTML is what I assume to be the issue here, though you'll have to do this again probably for the language of the IF/Else code blocks) so go to HTML>General and uncheck "Auto list members" at the top.
I'm currently editing a large CSS-file in the Visual Studio 2013 editor, and would hugely benefit from a tool that hierarchically listed the content of the files I'm editing. From what I understand, the Document Outline (DO) tool in VS is supposed to achieve this, however, it never actually displays anything; regardless of the document I am editing while the DO panel is visible (CSS, C#, JS, XML etc..), it just tells that:
There are no items to show for the selected document.
First of all, is the DO the right tool for the job, and if yes, how do I get it to display my pages' content? Am I perhaps missing some dll-files?
For the reference, I am developing an asp.net-MVC application.
You may want to install the Mexedge Stylesheet Extension that displays CSS structure in Solution Explorer.
In MVC you are likely to have many views with the same name (such as Index.cshtml or Edit.aspx) for the various controllers.
Depending on your working style, you might end up with a few tabs open in Visual Studio ending up with a tablist that looks like:
Index.cshtml|Index.cshtml|SomeController.cs|Edit.cshtml|Index.cshtml|Edit.cshtml|
It is possible to hover over the tabs and wait for the context hint to show up, but I was wondering if anyone had a technique or plugin where the correct file could be more easily identified at a glance (i.e. the Index.cshtml for the SomeController)?
There may be an extension in the Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools that will make your life easier. The Document Well 2010 Plus allows you to configure the document tabs.
I think http://www.tabsstudio.com/ may have the behavior you are looking for.
When you install it you should open the 'Tabs Studio Add-in Manager' and check 'Disambiguator'.
When you have different files open with the same name, it will display it's containing folder.
Home/Index.html | About/Index.html
While I was using D2007 I've really got used to Project > Project Page Options feature to keep and view some free-form project notes, external references (these almost never being comfortably viewable in built-in HTML designer) etc. Now I have Delphi XE and Project Page Options is missing from Project menu, moreover, projpageide150.bpl mentioned in the documentation is not present in bin directory. How do i fix it? I'm really finding ability to view (not edit!) HTML documents in the IDE a very convenient feature.
It looks like it was dropped but has been re-instated. In my XE2 installation the projpageide160.bpl file is there, as is the Project | Project Page options menu. Neither are present in my D2010 installation.
