There used to be an option in Visual Studio 2017 and prior to turn off "Always show solution." This setting is missing in Visual Studio 2019 and appears to have been removed.
Unfortunately this causes trouble when using the 'Open Web Site' feature as I often do, because 'Save All' prompts to create a .sln file which I do not want.
Visual Studio 2019:
Visual Studio 2017:
Has this option been removed completely or just relocated and the name changed?
Searching for 'Always show solution' in the Visual Studio 2019 options window returns no results.
Unfortunate but yes, this is true as mentioned in the Release notes for VS 2019:
The solution options Show advanced build configurations, Always show solution, and Save new projects when created have been removed due to low usage. These values have been set to their default value of True.
If you think having this is important for you and may also benefit others in the community, please provide submit a suggestion here.

There is a lot about about changing setting in Visual Studio on stackoverflow. All of them start with go to 'File' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Settings'
Ref: Remove trailing spaces automatically or with a shortcut
But there is not 'Preferences' when I click on 'File' from top menu.
Could anyone give advise where is settings now/how to get access to them, please
Visual Studio 2019
Thanks
Visual Studio (one version of which is Visual Studio 2019) is a completely different application from Visual Studio Code. Information about one will not generally be applicable to the other.
For instance, Visual Studio Code has a "preferences" submenu in its file menu, whereas Visual Studio has most of its options available under "Tools->Options". (The preferences themselves will also be different, so this isn't just a matter of finding it in a different menu.)
Try Tools->Options, depending on what you wish to configure.
Since converting a DSL-tools language to Visual Studio 2015, the toolbox options are gone, there are no options to add model elements to the DSL editor.
If I select the "Show All" option in the Visual Studio 2015 toolbox I see a strange "Cannot load resource" entry that I'm assuming that corresponds to the toolbox tab of my DSL.
Does anyone have any idea of what is happening here or any tips on how to diagnose how Visual Studio 2015 loads the toolbox so that I can find which is the "resource" that it cannot load?
Finally I found the solution a little by chance. This post pointed me in the right direction:
DSL designers built from migrated beta 2 solutions might have empty toolbox
The setting missing in the DSL package csproj file was the following:
<RegisterWithCodebase>true</RegisterWithCodebase>
It got lost in the transition from Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio 2015 while editing the projects references.
I'm looking for the option 'Reuse current document window, if saved' as described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4z4b7zzx.aspx
My options menu shows every option featured on the msdn page except that one.
I'm using a german version of Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 with update 4. I tried using different development settings but it still doesn't show up.
Looks like this feature was removed in VS 2012 and not supported in VS 2013 as well. Probably due to the Preview tab introduced in VS 2012+.
I am getting annoyed by having to change Resolve to Associate in Team Explorer
Is there a way to set it to Associate by default?
For visual studio 2013 this fixes the issue
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Behavior]
"ResolveAsDefaultCheckinAction"="False"
And now available in the settings UI in Visual Studio 2015: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-team-services/suggestions/3418758-in-the-team-explorer-change-default-state-value-o
Visual Studio 2019
I came here seeking an answer for VS 2019, as apparently the registry 'hack' no longer works.
There is now an setting in Tools -> Options for this, under Source Control -> Visual Studio Team Foundation Server called Resolve associated work items on check-in.
Un-check it to associate by default. Check to resolve by default.
I was having license errors with the latest Marmalade (6.4) and I reran s3eConfig to fix them. I set it to use Visual Studio 2010 and it re-setup marmalade and the license errors went away. However it is not respecting my Visual Studio selection and always opens Visual Studio 2012.
So, my question is where does marmalade hide these config values that you set when running s3eConfig? It looks like I will have to change it manually.
Marmalade saves these values in AppData. But instead of modifying these values, you can just right click on the mkb and open them in your desired IDE disregarding the default ones.
I guess the Visual Studio 2012 is the phone version(wp8). Marmalade has a bug regarding this, don't remember the MAINT number/bug issue tracking number.
