I have Vs 2010 and working on a Wp7 app. I read on an msdn page that WMAppManifest.xml has a designer view but when I click on designer view it just loads up the .xml file.
Did they remove designer view or is something wrong with my Vs?
On a side note in the WMAppManifest.xml there is a title node. What does that refer to? Is that the name that will show up on the device?
The Graphical Manifest Designer was introduce with Visual Studio 2012. It's not available in

Why don't I have the option to switch between source and design view in this intro xamarin app?
I had opened the folder in Visual Studio rather than the solution. After opening the .sln in in solution explorer the designer appeared.
I'm having trouble seeing the "Live DOM panel". I'm new to Visual Studio and is following a training for it through a book. The "Live DOM panel" never shows up after I open a blank Asp.Net page. I tried the method I found online that says to start debug, then go to Debug > Windows > DOM explorer, but there is no DOM Explorer either when I do it. Please help.
As I know Visual Studio doesn't have Live DOM panel. It is present in Blend that installed with Visual Studio together.
You could check more information about Live DOM panel there
Is there any window in Visual Studio 2010 that can be used to find controls?
I want to see the list of all controls used in my project.
On top of the property window there is a dropdown menu where all the controls of the open file are listed and you can select them in there. This could be usefull if you have hidden controls not appearing on your form.
What do the each of the watch window icons and overlays in Visual Studio represent? Is there a legend on an MSDN page somewhere?
The icons identify the kind of the entity being watched; the same icons are also used in IntelliSense, Class View, and the Object Browser (and in Visual Studio 2012, the enhanced Solution Explorer).
There's an overview of the icons on MSDN: Class View and Object Browser Icons (the icons in Visual Studio 2012 are similar, but styled different).

If you google for class and object browser icons then you should see the latest e.g. this one for VS 2019 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/class-view-and-object-browser-icons?view=vs-2019
Some shown in this image from that page
For VS2013 here's the icon reference:

Reference for Visual Studio 2022:

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!!
