In Microsoft Visual Studio 2013/Visual C++ 2013, I cannot have multiple tabs showing multiple files. How can I enable it?
Found it.
There is a tiny icon in the tab itself which needs to be clicked to keep it opened.

I published a control to Visual Studio Gallery about two weeks ago.
The publication is live and people can download it from the site.
The issue is: I do not see my control in Visual Studio's Extensions and Updates dialog. I tried different searches and browsed through Most Recent list but it didn't help.
What else should be done to make my control appear in Visual Studio's Extensions and Updates dialog?
The control has started appearing in Visual Studio's Extensions and Updates dialog in about a month after publication.
So, there is only one solution in cases like this: wait. At least I do not know of any other solution.
I wanted to know how Visual Studio Toolbox displays only a sub-set of Controls of all the controls depending on the document open. Document can be any file, for example, when WindowsForms is open, any component that can be dropped appears on the toolbox.
How does Visual Studio does it?
I have Visual Studio SDK installed. How do I know which tabs are hidden and which tabs are displayed. (Of course "Show All.." is unchecked).
Thanks!!

It's common for me to have 20+ files opened in Visual Studio (I use VS 2008 now, but we will migrate to VS 2010, soon.). Is there any add-in which could help organize actively opened files?
I mean something like Firefox colorful tabs or a tab-manager which will group windows tabs by projects or folders,...
Visual Studio Power tools will do it for 2010, out of luck for 2008 (as far as I know).
There are versions of Power tools for all the newer Visual Studios.
Newest: VS Power tools 2015
You can have them color coded by assembly, most recently used up front, and several other sorting/grouping options
Tabs Studio document tabs manager add-in (developed by me) supports VS 2010+ and VS 2008.
I like the alternative approach proposed by the 'Tidy Tabs' extension.
Rather than providing you with a mechanism to manage billions of tabs, it helps by automatically monitoring and cleaning up your tabs to only display the ones that you have most recently been using.
It's free too. :)
From the extension page:
Tidy Tabs keeps your document well organized by closing tabs that are no longer being used. Tabs that have not been viewed in a configurable amount of time can be closed with a keyboard shortcut (CTRL+ALT+ESC) or closed automatically whenever you save a document.

Im an xcode developer and the one thing I love about xcode and am missing when im coding c# in visual studio is the feature to open and close files upon one click.
Is it possible to set up visual studio to behave like xcode in this fashion?
Does Visual Studio or MSDN provides a default set of icons for desktop applications, i.e. icons for common actions, GUI elements, data types, etc?
For instance, I have a button that the user clicks on to select a file, it would be nice if I could use Windows' standard folder icon.
For Visual Studio 2012 and 2013:
The icons are not in the program folder any more.
You can download the Visual Studio Image Library which contains most of the icons at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35825
It contains many icons from Visual Studio, Office,...
You should be able to find the icons in a zip file named "VS2008ImageLibrary.zip" located here:
%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033
check out http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/ very nice and exhaustive icon sets. as far as I can tell they are free.
There is an image library packaged with Visual Studio. Do a search for icon files in the Visual Studio install directory to reveal its location. It may or may not be there, or will be in different locations, depending on the version of VS you have installed.
If memory serves the Express editions come without this feature, but all other versions since at least Visual Studio .NET do.
