I just installed VS 2017 but I can't seem to get matching braces turned on. I tried changing colors in the tools editor but that didn't work. Not sure what I did to turn this off.
OK, for some reason its only for JavaScript files. If this happens to you, go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > JavaScript/TypeScript > Language Service and uncheck the Enable the new JavaScript language service. If you have any JavaScript files open at the time you do this, you will need to close and then reopen them.

How do I get rid of these annoying error popups while I'm typing? They even appear over the text I'm currently typing sometimes.
I'm not exactly sure when it started, I may have accidentally turned on an option by mistake, but I don't remember which option controls this.
Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# (for example) > Advanced > Display diagnostics inline (uncheck)
I usually use comma , to set the same variable type like the gif above.
But a problem is when I hit Enter after write second variable, the VS breaks the line automatically.
As a formal Atom user, it's a bit tedious because in Atom it doesn't break the line whatever the indent number is. (My current indent number is 2.)
I changed and tested it all of the options inTools > Options > Text Editor > Basic > Tabs, but none of these turn off the breaking line. Even disabling pretty listening won't work.
How do I turn off this feature?
Judging by the glimpse of Intellisense and the fact that Enter auto-formats, it looks like you're editing a JavaScript file.
To disable auto-formatting after hitting Enter, go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > JavaScript/TypeScript > Formatting > General and toggle Format completed line on Enter to unchecked:
The accepted answer doesn't work in Visual Studio 2019 with Visual Basic. These options on the image aren't even shown in the Options for Basic.
However, when the Pretty listing option is turned off, this behavior ceases.
I would like to see all files or documents I've opened in Visual Studio. I do not want them to be auto hidden or hidden on overflow.
How can I achieve it?
One of the built-in option to do so: use pinned tabs.
http://dailydotnettips.com/2016/01/21/persevering-and-separating-the-pinned-tabs-in-visual-studio/
If you don't want to read a external page just for setting:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
It's not completely what you want, but it's free and may be useful.
Maybe it's not exactly what you search, but here is a way to at least get a second row for pinned tabs.
Effectively get you more space for opened files:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show pinned tabs in a seperate row
Visual Studio has this extension taken from msdn.microsoft.com tested and worked
Simple installation: download, doubleclick to install, restart VS IDE. Then open all the tabs you want they all will be displayed and No hidden.

It's worth noting that starting in VS 2019 v16.4, you can now have "vertical tabs" which will list all open tabs vertically, making it easy to see all open files.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/customizing-window-layouts-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2019#vertical-document-tabs
In Visual Studio 2022, this issue now has a native solution. Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show tabs in multiple rows. Excess tabs will be shown on additional rows. There doesn't seem to be a limit on how many rows this can use.
Another relevant option that some may find useful; you can choose "Show invisible tabs in italic in tab dropdown menu". The dropdown button is only visible when you hover your mouse near the end of the row of tabs. Showing invisible windows in italics makes it easier to identify windows that are only visible in the overflow menu.
For those using Visual Studio 2022, check the "Show tabs in multiple rows" setting in Tools > Options > Environment > Tabs and Windows section.
For Visual Studio Code
If you want to see all the opened tabs,
you can simply on wrap tabs option in the VS Code settings
settings > User > Workbench > Editor > Wrap Tabs
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck disabling the HTML element tooltips in Visual Studio 2015. I find them to be a real annoyance, especially when dragging/ctrl+dragging text around (they get in the way most the time). Here's a screenshot the feature in action (updated):
I Googled and was only able to find the post where the feature was announced, but no mentions of how to disable it. I checked my Visual Studio preferences and have "Auto list members" and "Parameter information" disabled for the HTML text editor.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Update (10/16/2015): I think this issue may be related to the Web Essentials package. I disabled the package and was able to make the tooltip show up, however, I don't currently have a computer with a default Visual Studio 2015 install to test my theory on. I updated the screenshot to reflect the actual tooltip I'm getting (the original one was the screenshot included in the linked blog post).
Try this:
Go to: Tools > Options... > Text Editor > HTML > General
In the 'Statement completion' section you will see an 'Auto list members' checkbox, uncheck it.
However, I'm not sure if the feature above reffers to an in-design html editing or will only affect in specific html development environment (editing an html file for example), so I'll give an additional solution:
Go to: Tools > Options... > Environment > Keayboard
Here, find the command Edit.ToggleCompletionMode and assign the keyboard shortcut that you desire.
Then just use it when you wish to toggle the auto completion of members (including html members I supose).
Update
Sorry If I confussed what you want, because with the absence of auto completion it will remove existance of tooltips but I don't know if you need auto completion suggestions or not.
Anyways, for tooltips you could try doing the same procedure I explained in the images above but with the "Parameter Information" checkbox and/or the corresponding keyboard shortcut, Edit.ParameterInfo. Because seems that html element tooltips are treated as parameter info.
This was annoying the Hell out of me as well & I found that ElektroStudios' solution wasn't suitable in my case. I'm fairly sure that they are VS-native (definitely not Web-Essentials or ReSharper).
For VS2015 at least, the offending tool-tips are located within the file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\Schemas\1033\HTML\html.loc
Deleting the contents of this file has "disabled" the tool-tips for me, although I can't say whether this will be a permanent fix.
I'm using VS 2010, and I'm getting constantly annoyed when I type "else" and then it auto returns line and adds braces. Something like:
else
{
}
I cannot imagine I'm the only one who often puts one-liners after the else and prefers no braces. How do I stop this from happening?
I also found this behavior very annoying.
My first attempt involved opening the Templates Explorer (ReSharper / Templates Explorer...), selecting C#, then unchecking "else". This did get rid of the braces. Unfortunately, hitting enter after "else" now just added a space! I was having to hit enter twice. Not quite what I was hoping for.
But if you double-click on the else template it opens up an editor where you can specify what happens. I found that simply removing the braces gave me the functionality I desired - hitting enter after an else was now putting me on a new line, tabbed over under the else - without braces.
To recap, to fix this you need to open Resharper's Templates Explorer, select the C# scope, then double-click on the else template and remove the braces. Your template "snippet" should look like this (just two lines):
else
$END$
This works in Resharper 6.1 and Visual Studio 2008. I have no idea about other versions of the software.
Okay, finally figured out what the hell is doing this. I have ReSharper installed on this machine, and apparently the "else" keyword is a ReSharper autocomplete keyword. So even after I turned off the braces completion, ReSharper was still kicking in and adding them. Rage. In order to stop this, you have to turn off the ReSharper autocomplete.
I don't think there's any way to disable brace auto-complete for specific keywords. If you go to:
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Formatting
you'll find the various formatting options. It's possible to disable auto complete in general or affect indentation and such, but I don't see any way to disable brace auto complete for specific keywords.
Are you using Productivity Power Tools? You can turn it off in Tools, Options, "Productivity Power Tools", "Automatic Brace Completion". (I know I do)
