I like to display the results of the right-click > "Find All References" command of Visual Studio 2017 in a floating window and close the window when I'm done. However, every time I close the "references" window and then invoke "Find All References" again, the results are again docked to the bottom of the IDE. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
This works by default with Visual Studio 2019.
With visual Studio 2017 15.9.12 the behavior is like you describe and I see no way to change this.

I'm using Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 on Windows 10. After I do a "Find in Files" and click "find all", I see all the results in a result panel. The problem is that when I double click on each result, it does nothing and doesn't open it in an editor just as what VS Code does.
I tried reinstalling and it didn't help. What am I missing here? Does anyone know how to make it so that when I double click on the search results, they open up in a code editor?
I am facing an issue my solution explorer window goes up and I don't know how to bring it back to the same place. I restart my visual studio several times. I have also tried to restore down and maximize the window but have not fixed it. Here is the image
Try restore down the VS window and then dock the toolbox
In Visual Studio Code, when using Ctrl F in a file, the editor shows the "current of total" of the searched string. Is there a way to enable this in Visual Studio 2019?
VS Code:
Visual Studio 2019 Preview:
Instead of Ctrl+F use Ctrl+Shift+F, this will open the Find in Files option, select Current Document and search.
The results will now appear in a new window and you will get the count at the bottom of the window.
I don't think there's an option to show this count in Quick Find, at least not in Visual Studio for Windows. In Visual Studio for Mac this is the default behaviour:
Is there a way to refresh VS 2013 Solution Explorer?
I modify files outside of VS, usually with Dream Weaver, but when I reopen VS Solution Explorer it remains unchanged.
The MS docs say there is/was a refresh button for VS 2010 but I cannot find it in VS 2013
Do you mean this refresh button?
If you can't find it, maybe your solution explorer pane is too narrow and the button is hidden? Note that it's only available in "Show All Files" mode (the button outlined in blue on the picture).
I accidentally deleted data tab in visual studio 2010 design mode. How can i bring it back??
You can retrieve any window under the View tab in VS, you're probably looking for the Solution Explorer
EDIT:
Right-click in your toolbox and select Show all or Reset toolbox
