Is there a way to create a new code window in Visual Studio 2010 that is also a tabbed container for other code windows.
As far as I can see the windows will only stack on top of each other once they're undocked from the main window and will only tab when placed back on the original Visual Studio screen.
I find this greatly hinders multi monitor code screens.
Thanks.
You can do this if you install the latest Productivity Power Pack. This feature is called "Floating Tab Wells" within that extension.

I recently moved to a new PC, and my visual studio is now showing all variables in some sort of memory address mode. Normally I would just see the simple properties and values. I can't figure out how to turn this off and get the standard view.

Aw dude, so simple:
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Right-click on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 shortcut and go to its Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab and uncheck "Run this program in compatible mode for:" and say Apply
Now start Visual Studio and open the project. You should be able to debug it.
It's trivial, I know, but yesterday, out of nowhere, Visual Studio 2012 Professional started displaying "Solution Explorer", "Team Explorer - Home", etc. in the tabs instead of nice little icons. Does anyone know how to bring back the icons?
There is an extension that does just that. It was written for VS 2015 but works fine in VS 2017.

Icons are displayed when the widths of the tabs are too narrow. To get the icons back, either make the pane narrower or dock some more tabs in that pane.

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!!

I have an issue with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2010 Express, when I right click on a project structure in the solution explorer, (on the references folder) and select "Add Reference" the Visual Studio 2010 window flashes as focus as left the window and then focus immediately returns and there is no new window that allows me to add references. This problem persists even after a clean install, and across multiple products (VS 2010 Ultimate and VS 2010 Express) I am using windows 7, and I have to think this problem ids outside of VS 2010, but this is the only issue I am currently facing.
Its like the references window (that allows you to pick the new reference) is automatically being closed.
Thanks.
I just had the same problem.
Do you have a tablet that you're using? If you enable the Tablet PC Input Service it should work again. There seem to be some dependencies on this service and/or conflicts with my Wacom drivers that caused the issue in the first place.

Add Reference or existing item popup is not show then answer is :
Window Button +R then type "services.msc" > search "Tablet PC Input Service" and the right Click on Start.
it will work correctly.
