In Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise, View.SynchroniseClassView is not working. I have tried adding the button to menu, map keys to View.SynchroniseClassView , but the button remains greyed out.
Is there any known issues with View.SynchroniseClassView ? The worse case scenario is trying to find a way to copy the fully qualified method/property name and search in the class view manually.
As of Visual Studio Version 16.7.1 The issue seems fixed and the position in the tree view of the class view matches the code when invoking the synchronise class view key shortcut or menu entry in the "View > Syncronize Class View"

Recently switched to Visual Studio 2019. For some reason Ctrl+Y deletes the current line rather than implementing Redo. If I pull down the Edit menu, selecting the "Redo (Ctrl+Y)" menu item works. But not the indicated keyboard shortcut.
Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
I agree with Dan H above. In Tools>Customize>Keyboard, remove the keyboard shortcuts for Edit.LineCut and Edit.LineDelete. Assign Edit.Redo to CTRL-Y and redo works again.
Thanks Dan!
In VS for windows when we right click in the project there is a property option available to change the start up object (list of classes with main methods). However, I could not find it in VS for Mac. I use VS for mac. How to do the same in VS for mac?
In the Solution window, right click the project and select Options.
In the Project Options window select Build - General.
Enter the name of your startup class in the Main Class section and click OK.
Some time ago, Visual Studio 2019 told me that the "Output" window caused a Visual Studio start-up delay of X seconds and offered me to hide the window on start.
I accepted that offer, and now, after some time, I discovered that having to re-pin the Output window once per Visual Studio session is super-annoying, and that I would like things back the way they were before.
I browsed through the Visual Studio options (specifically Environment/Startup and Environment/"Tabs and Windows"), but I did not find an option to undo that change. What did I miss?
I know that I could reset Visual Studio to default settings, but I want to avoid that, because then I'd lose all my custom settings. (No bounty will be awarded for suggesting this, unless the answer also proves that there is no other option.)
I also know that I could pin the output window and then "save" the layout as a custom layout. I don't want that, I want to modify the "default" layout loaded on start.
(Rubber-duck debugging at its best: 5 minutes after starting a bounty I find the solution myself. Go figure!)
In the Visual Studio menu, go to Help/Visual Studio Performance Manager, which brings up this helpful dialog:
Setting this option back to "Use default behavior" fixes the issue.
Is it possible to reset window layout in Visual Studio for Mac? I am able to do this for Visual Studios on Windows, but not on Mac version.
After piecing together various posts I found only a non-UI way to reset the layout. Starting with this doc: http://www.monodevelop.com/developers/articles/user-profiles/ but instead of using the path "MonoDevelop" use "VisualStudio". So in the case of a Mac the folder to visit is at "~/Library/Preferences/VisualStudio".
Once there I found the "7.0" subfolder had a file named "EditingLayout.xml"... With VS for Mac not running, I deleted that file and started it again. This restored all pads to their default state from what I can tell. In my case the "Application Output" window was still not available as a Pad until I actually did a Debug on a project, and then it was visible again in the View | Pads list (and no longer lost in the UI somewhere).
You can press the view tab to change the different layouts or create one of your own.

I met this problem also, Visual Studio for Mac can't reset Window Layout in UI. But you can easily customize the Window Layout. Just select "View->Pads/Debug Pads" to decide what window you want to show on the dashboard.
enter image description here
Just to have a more up-to-date answer: when you quit Visual Studio Mac 2019, any changes made to the active layout will be reset to how the layout was saved.
From the Visual Studio Website:"There is always one active layout and any change you make in a layout, such as adding or repositioning a pad, will only change the active layout. Once you close Visual Studio for Mac, the changes you have made will not be saved." Visual Studio Website - Customising The IDE
I've tested it out for Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac Version 8.7.8 (build 4), and now it really does just reset when you quit the app, unless you have specifically saved any changes as a new layout.
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.
