There is a pop-up thing that explains what the code does and it looks like this:
But after I updated to a newer version of Visual Studio, it changed to this:
It is harder to read if you ask me.
I'm using Visual Studio Community 2019 (16.7.6)
How can I fix this?
The colour settings for the pop-up appear to be faulty.
You can reset them by going into the "Tools" menu -> "Options..." -> "Environment" -> "General" then the "Color Theme" is in a dropdown in the pane on the right.
Change it to something else and then back to "Dark".

For Visual Studio 2015:

Open Visual Studio and Go to Tools -> Import and Export Settings
Select Reset all Settings and complete the wizard

After upgrading to Visual Studio 2015, holding control while clicking on a symbol navigates to that symbol definition. In prior versions, this would instead select the entire word.
How can I disable the navigation event when CTRL + Click(ing) a symbol, so that it highlights the word?
I do have Resharper (Ultimate 9.2) installed. The configuration option under Environment -> Search & Navigation -> Go to Declaration on Control + Click in the editor is not checked.
All the search engine results make mention of this being a feature of the Productivity Power Tools extensions in previous versions of Visual Studio. I do not have that extension installed.
I found my solution in the "Options - Text Editor - General" settings. This was on VS 2017 thou.
To disable navigation to symbol definitions in VS2015,
this one worked for me.
With Resharper Ultimate 2016.3.1, I could fix the issue by disabling "Rich mouse navigation in the editor". It can be found in Resharper Options window, under Environment > Search & Navigation.
Maybe updating Resharper could solve the issue.
Also, Productivity Power Tools is not installed on my machine.
In vs 2017 this setting is available in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition.
You can uncheck it!
Go to ReSharper Options > Environment > Search & Navigation, then uncheck the following options:
Rich mouse navigation in the editor
Enable 'Smart go to declaration'
I finally solved it following the info I found on this page..
edit
Ensure you are using Visual Studio as your resharper keyboard scheme.
Environment -> Keyboard & Menus
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
To stop the go to declaration, select it and input a new key short cut for it. In this image I have demonstrated that I changed this short cut to ctr num 1 and could not change it to ctr num 3. On testing crt click does not no take me to the declaration.
Find the shortcut you want to remove, in this case Edit.NavigateTo and remove.
An update for Productivity Power Tools + VS2017. Instead of having settings for this feature, a separate plugin gets installed. So after installing PPTs, you'll have a new extension called Ctrl+Click Go To Definition. Not sure why we need that tool considering it's baked into VS, but...
Anyway, Disabling that extension (plus the other things mentioned in other comments for VS and Resharper) fixed my ctrl+click woes.
To switch to the Visual C# keyboard mapping scheme
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Expand Environment, and then click Keyboard.
Select Visual C# 2005 from the Apply the following application

I haven't had much luck in finding an answer to this, I just switched computers and during debugging I noticed that only 'Step over' appears on the toolbar, there is no 'Step Into' or 'Step out'. Following some advice online I attempted going to Tools ->Customize ->Commands. I confirmed that the buttons are present under the 'Debug' menu bar (Although if I actually go to that Menu I once again only see 'Step over'). Some answers for Visual Studio 2008 said that its possible to drag and drop the commands, I haven't been able to do this either. Any suggestions?
if you right-click on the toolbar and select the option at the bottom which is "customize..."
then go to commands and select the radiobutton for toolbar.
go to the the item "debug" and click the button "Add command"
Good luck!
I was able to resolve this issue by going to Tools -> Import and Export Settings Wizard -> Reset all settings. Then just going through the wizard.
I need to work with the Property Sheet of a project. I followed instruction on msdn to try to find Property Manager under View, but I do not see Property Manager as a menu option under Tool. I only saw Property Pages and Properties Window. I tried both options but they do not seem to be where I can create a property sheet. My Visual Studio version is as follows: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel. Can anyone please give a pointer? Thanks.
I finally found mine under View->Other Windows, near the bottom.
Try resetting your View menu, Property Manager should indeed be there.
Go to Tools -> Customize.
In the popup window, select the Commands tab.
Select the Menu bar: button, and in the dropdown menu select View
Click Reset All and confirm.
This should restore Property Manager to your View menu.
To see the Property Manager you need to have Expert Settings enabled. You can find this option in:
Tools -> Settings
It is under View --> Other Windows --> Properties Manager. It works.
This is how I restored the Property Manager menu item in Visual Studio 2013:
Select Tools\Customize
Select the Commands Tab and Menu Bar
Under the dropdown beside Menu Bar, select "View | Other Windows" (or wherever you'd like to put it)
Click "Add Command..." and select the View category
Find and select Property Manager from Commands and click OK
In my case it was just in the VIEW toolbar - almost in the bottom. Running VS2013 Pro update 3
View > Property Manager or View > Other Windows > Property Manager, please try this
None of the above answers worked for me. What worked for me is:
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings -> ... -> Visual C++ Development Settings
Despite I selected Visual C# settings at first use, for some reason, VC++ settings were ON, causing the visual components property window to not show up while pressing F4.
Selecting Visual C# settings ( in Tools | Import and export settings... | Reset All ) made it work.
Property Manager is a moot utility now. Since the property sheet is defined for each project, it can be edited by right clicking on the project and selecting properties. If you need to edit multiple projects once, just select all the projects you want to effect a change and do the right clicking trick.
This brings up the same property pages as it would from Property Manager.
Since none of the given answers worked for me here are my two cents.
Like any well hidden menu in Visual Studio this one can be found by opening Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> Keyboard and searching for "View.PropertyManager". There you can give it a global shortcut. While this only helps if you know the name of the menu or command you are looking for it's much faster go through a bunch of guesses this way than by randomly browsing menus.
In visual studio 2010 Ultimate I was working with Apply Style window and I temporarily closed this window by clicking X on it. Later when I look for it under View > Apply Style (its usual place) it wasn't there. devenv /resetsettings not seem to be working for me. any idea on how I can return the window back?
Thanks,
Try Tools-->Customize and then look for the Add Command button, where you can find the Apply Styles window under the "View" category.
The problem is solved by resetting the settings..
From Menu, Tools > Import and Export Settings is selected and using the wizard IDE is reset. Then the lost icons come back (visible and ready) under View.
you have to switch to HTML (Web Form) Explorer.
in your solution explorer
right click on index.html >
Open with... >
HTML (Web Form) Explorer
then in your visual studio toolbar select VIEW and you should find Apply Style now
