It appears the data menu is being phased out (I'm still seeing the Data menu in VS 2010 Express, but it seems that it's gone not only in your scenario but with VS 2012). The two items in the menu, Show Data Sources and Add New Data Source... can be reached by using the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+D, or quite possibly in your version, under the View menu -> Other Windows -> Data Sources.

I'm a complete newbie to Visual Studio 2017 and now need to update a old windows application. I down loaded VS 2017 community, found my .RC files and used it to open one of my dialog designs. It displays correctly but my problem is how do I get the VS to display the tools such as grid lines, alignment tools, etc? And how do I display the menu of the various controls (boxes and items) that one can add to the dialog design?
Those are in the toolbox pane/sidebar/thingie on the side. If you don't see it, go to the View menu and select "Toolbox" to turn it on.
I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.

What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

How do I open a Visual Studio project in design view?
So I came back to a project that I was working on a few months ago, and when I load it one of the projects seems to have lost the link to it's entry in TFS. The solution explorer doesn't show the lock icons for it, but I still see it in TFS.
I tried performing a add to source control but it says that the items already exist.
Anybody have ideas on how to fix this?
I'm trying to avoid remapping because there are a few branches, and I'm not even sure that will fix it.
Your solution has lost the TFS binding, you can do the following to fix it. First open the solution/project you wish to bind in Visual studio then:
Highlight the project or solution you wish to bind to Team Foundation version control in Solution Explorer.
On the File menu, click Source Control, and then click Change Source Control.
3.In Change Source Control dialog box, click Bind.

Update for VS 2013 (thank you Caad9) - In VS 2013 [Ultimate at least] there's an additional level in the menu; File - Source Control - Advanced - Change Source Control... which brings up the dialog
Hi I have been working with visual studio 2010 ultimate all day developing an asp.net webforms application.
I just realized that on the properties for controls window the button for events is missing , the one that looks like a thunderbolt.
An hour ago that button was there and now somehow it has disapeared and I can't figure out how to make it visible again.
I have tryed reseting the visual studio settings and reseting the computer but nothing worked
How can I get the button back?
I had the same problem. This helped me.
1.Restart visual studio 2010.
2.Click and select a control in markup page(.aspx)(like
3.After selecting , Click "View" in menu and select "Property window".
Check the property box, Thunderbolt ll be available. It just happened for me!
If the above solution not working go on with this!
1.Select design view in markup(.aspx)
2.Select any individual control like a button or label..
3.Now, you will be able to see a ">" button on the right side? Click it.
4.Remember to select only one control./.now check your property window! Whoohoo..
Actually while the solution above works, it puts you through more steps than you need. You can resolve this famous disappearing thunderbolt by simply clicking on Design view, and then clicking back on Source view, then clicking again to select the control in source view.
The Thunderbolt icon and events for the control will magically reappear.
You do not need to restart Visual Studio, and you do not need to select anything while in Design view.
And now, for my RANT about this annoying bug:
Even though this is easy to resolve, it is a MAJOR inconvenience to developers in my opinion, because we have to do this silly workaround all the freaking time.
This is in fact a BUG in Visual Studio. It has existed since at least Visual Studio 2010 (many users have reported it here and in MS forums across this and all later versions of VS). I have confirmed that this bug still exists in the latest build of Visual Studio 2022. So clearly MS has no plans to fix it.

I'm trying to find the System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar control in the ToolBox for a Visual Studio 2010 Windows Forms Project in Visual Basic. I cannot seem to see it. Is it somewhere in the "Common Controls" or "Containers" sections? I cannot see it. If someone can tell me what controls are to the top and bottom of it I would appreciate it.
Thanks
It's not there by default, because it's been replaced by the newer (and much nicer) StatusStrip control.
If you really need it, you can add it to any tab by right-clicking, then clicking Choose Items:
