There is an option in Eclipse, which when activated, updates the selection in the project navigator, according to currently opened / focused file. In Eclipse this is a button in the project navigator called "link with editor".
Is there something similar in Xcode?
In Eclipse:
what does "link with editor " feature do in Eclipse?
Link with editor is useful when you open many files in your project. When you select a file in the editor, the Project Explorer or the Navigator show you the same file in its document tree.
In XCode,
Reveal in Project Navigator Keyboard shortcut is ⇧⌘J
Even right click on the file will give you the option to Reveal.

What is the shortcut for showing the current file in the project explorer?
Even better: is there a way to make the current file automatically show in project explorer tree? Visual Studio and SublimeText (via SyncedSidebar plugin) have this functionality...
You can make the current file show in the Project Explorer by clicking on the little arrow at the top right of the Project Explorer and choosing 'Link with Editor'.
I have been struggling adding CoreData.framework to my existing xcode 4.6.2 project. I googled and all the answer I got is by control-click on frameworks folder and Select Add -> Existing Frameworks. This "Existing Framework" is not in the menu.
Select your project and then select your target, click on the Tab 'Build phases'. Open the section 'Link Binary with Libraries' and click on the + sign.
In Xcode, select your target in the navigator. Click the Build Phases tab. Click the add button under the link with binary box, and select CoreData.framework, if its not there, you might reinstall Xcode.
In my solution I have three projects: Console application, class library, and a website project.
The Show All Files button is visible on the console and class library project, but soon as I click on the website project the button disappears.
I am running Visual Studio 2012.
I just got the same problem "Solution Explorer toolbar missing" eg. "Show all files". Here's what I did:
Right click your "Solution".
Select "New Solution Explorer View". This will pop-up a new "Solution Explorer" window with toolbars in it.
Close you original "Solution Explorer" window.
Click on folder which must contain target file and Solution explorer properties will be changed. There you can find Refresh button and Show all files button.

Improved Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2012 to Improve Productivity
"Show All Files" is not shown in a Web Site Project because it's not needed and all files are already shown in the Solution Explorer. I think that this behavior is the same for older versions of VS
In Solution Explorer, click on a project, and then the 'Show All Files' button will appear.
If you are in a WebSite project all files are shown by default. If there are some missing (added during debugging etc), just hit the refresh button on the top of the solution explorer and they should appear.
None of the above answers worked for me. If this is the case for you try right-clicking on any file in your project, then choosing "Show all files". The "Show all files" icon should now appear on this and all subsequent Solution Explorer windows.
YMMV, be kind. :-)
The "Show All Files" auto hides.
Click on the folder that has the hidden file, the button should show up.
By clicking on the project (the folder under the solution) the solution explore checks if all sub folders has hidden file, this will prompt the button to be revealed.
If you want to get Show all file menu just hide the solution explorer and open it fom view=>Other Windows=>Solution Explorer and clik it it will show all files menu
if you click on solution name in "solution explorer" maybe you will can't see "Show all files" button. because maybe added F# or website project in solution.
if you want see "Show all files" button, you must click on project name which is C# or native C++ or C++.net.
try to open any file use ctrl+alt+a . once a file will open "show all" button will appear automatically.
I'm trying to change Visual Studio to open my code instead of designer by default. This question tells me to right click on a file and go to "Open With..."
However, when I try to right click on a file in my solution explorer I have no "Open With..." option. I'm not sure if this is caused by an extension (I have the CodeRush Xpress, VSCommands, Productivity Power tools, and VCS tools for SVN, Git, and Hg), or what, but I would like to be able to configure what my files open with.
Where do I need to go to either get the menu option back or change these settings?
The context menu can be modified. If you haven't heavily customized your command bars and menus then a full reset is wise. Tools + Import/Export, "Reset all settings" radio button.
Or fix the context menu. Tools + Customize, Commands tab, click the "Context menu" radio button. Select the "Project and Solution Context Menu | Item" option from the combobox. Click the Add Command button.
This MSDN link might help you:
How to: Change or Add a Default Editor
It's not the most intuitive method, but from the link:
On the File menu in Visual Studio, choose Open and then select File.
In the Open File dialog box, select a file of the type you want to change.
Still in the Open File dialog box, click the down arrow next to the Open button, and then select Open With.
In the Open With dialog box, choose an editor from the Select a program to open list.
Click the Set as Default button and then click the Open button to open the file.
I want to know where the solution/project is stored on my hard drive.
I would have thought right clicking on the project from within Visual Studio would have the information on where it is stored on my hard drive, but it doesn't.
Click on the project itself in the solution explorer and in the properties window it lists the project folder.
Only works if you've actually saved the project though. I.e. newly created projects don't have a location.
Start up Visual Studio and go to Tools->Options.
In the dialog box that opens, make sure to check the box that displays "Show All Settings."
From there, you should find a setting called "Projects and Solutions" which will have the list of default locations for projects, templates, etc.
When you have loaded you project in Visual Studio select the solution in the Solution explorer window and then select Properties window. You will see "Path" in the Properties window which points to the actual file.
Open one of the files in your Solution and hover over the tab in the code window. The full path will show up in a tooltip.
You can also go to Window | Windows... which shows you full path to all open files.
One way is to select the project in the solution explorer and then click File / Save As or press F4 and view the 'Project Folder' property.
