I want to open The Modify Style dialog box
Someone may know if this moved ?
I have try View->Toolbars-> and from here i cannot fine any style option
If you're talking about the Toolbars -> Style Sheet toolbar, it seems to have been removed intentionally:
Thanks for the feedback. The Stylesheet toolbar was removed because it
added little to no value with outdated wizards and dialogs. We're
looking at bringing more visual tooling back to CSS in the future, but
in a better way.

Might be worth keeping an eye on this one as well (for further verification, it may get updated):

I am looking for free extension that has one simple functionality which is sidebar file navigation like is in SuperCharger or Resharper (see attached screenshots). Sadly both of them are paid :-( Does anyone have a good alternative?
Visual studio has Class View window for a quite a while.
You can try Productivity Power Tools, with it, you can:
Expand code files to navigate to its classes, expand classes to navigate to their members, and so on (C# and VB only)
Search your solution, all the way down to class members
Filter your solution or projects to see just opened files, unsaved files, and so on
View related information about classes and members (such as references or callers/callees for C#)
Preview images by hovering over them, or preview rich information by hovering over code items
We've also added support for multiple selection and drag & drop.

I know its an old question, but as i was looking for an alternative to supercharger // Resharper (for the navigation only) few days ago, and had looked on stack before doing my search (and as I found the answers not exactly what i was looking for) ...
After testing a few extensions I finally found a good alternative to those two paid solutions :

You can also just download it from the extensions menu , search for CodeNav .
Best.
I am importing a lot of CSS & JS into my app and updating the links as I go. Is there any code inspection possible that will highlight these broken links to make sure I haven't missed any and to save me going through every file?
I know in other IDE's this is a standard thing so I am guessing there should be something in VS but I can't find it.
I'm afraid that it's not possible in pure Visual Studio.
But there is one trick which you can do using ReSharper which might help you and solve your problem. Take a look below:
What is more - you can configure ReSharper to show those "Path errors" not as warning but as errors! Then you will be able to show those during compilation.
Click "ReSharper" in the Visual Studio top menu, then "Options..."
There will be search box in the left upper corner of the "Options" window
Type "Path error" and hit return
Change all of the "Warning" to "Error"
There are a number of sites/tools as listed here that will check anchor links, css links, image links, JavaScript links, etc:
W3C Link Checker
Xenu's Link Slueth
Link Checker FireFox AddOn
Dead Link Checker
I have only ever used the W3C checker which seems to work quite well.
As you know, in Windows Phone SDK there are several styles that you can apply to textblocks.
For reference: MSDN
Since you can't always remember the full name of the style, is there an easy way to apply them? Do I really have to go to that link everytime I need to apply a new style?
IntelliSense is not helpful enough? I usually, write StaticResource text and then the list gets filtered with all the styles containing the "text" string. Kind of depends according to your needs. If you want to apply for font style, write "font" and see the list of suggestions.
Now, I'm not sure if my IntelliSense is as yours or is already enhanced by Resharper. If you haven't heard of it, take a look at it. You gotta hit CTRL+SPACE if the suggestion list isn't there, and it will get filled with possible matches. It's a nice productivity tool that does MUCH more and actually is not free but, I guess you could also get it crac... ahem :)
Other than this, I guess a quick bookmark to that web address, does that job pretty well. :)
The easiest way is to ensure you have the visual designer open while creating the view. You can right click on your TextBlock select Edit Style -> Apply Resource ->. From here you will see a long list of available styles to pick from.
I just found out that what I was looking for will be implemented in Visual Studio 2013!

In Visual Studio, I can collapse sections of code with arrows in the left gutter. Is there any way to do that in Dreamweaver?
Apparently Dreamweaver doesn't use code folding by default, but you should get a good idea of how to get that to work from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/226001
Just for anyone else that sees this, this is built into Dreamweaver now.
How do I customize, extend the text editor, or color tag parts of my code?
I would like Visual Studio to color code parts of my code. Can I use #region and give it a color?
Is there any way to make the background between two parentheses have a different color? (I want each code "block" to have its own color.)
I've looked here for some insight, but they all are implemented based "on what you select". All I want is to have the text editor "render" the text in a different way based on some rules.
I haven't seen such feature, but there is something quite close to what you are looking for in ReSharper. A setting called "Highlight matching delimiters". Looks like this in use:
I wanted tell you this because
1) You might be interested in resharper and
2) resharper is able to do the highlighting so maybe someone can make an add-in or something to add this kind of feature. Maybe you? :)
I don't know of anything exactly like what you're asking for, but the VS10x Code Map extention might help: http://www.axtools.com/products-vs2010-extensions.php
It will give you a nice overview of the code on the side, and make navigation somewhat easier.
The download button on the right lets you download a trial version from the Visual Studio Gallery at msdn.microsoft.com. I think you can also find it directly from the extentions view in VS2010.
