Does anyone know how to get my class name and method name dropdown lists again? It's the dropdown lists that are usually above the code. It's just a setting but i can't seem to find it. I don't want to reset my setting btw. I shouldn't have to.
Tools-->Options...
Text Editor-->All Languages
Check "Navigation Bar."
(Picture is from VS2013)
Tools - Options - Text Editor - (choose the type of file - C#, html, etc) - General
In the bottom section of the form (The "Display" area) make sure that "Navigation Bar" is checked.
Actually there is a bug in VS2013, where if you place VS on the monitor on the left side, and this is not your primary monitor, then the dropdowns will not work.
I came here searching for a solution for javascript/node.js specifically (in VS 2013). Only by doing further search I found out that this feature has been removed (from RC) due to stability/performance reasoning and is not available anymore.
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/806325/javascript-navigation-bars-are-missing-after-upgrading-from-vs2013-pro-rc-to-rtm
Also, I did not see this added again through either node tools or web essentials.
In VS2015 I just had to toggle this setting off then back on again to get the navigation bar back.
If you want a list of javascript functions that works similar to the navigation bar in the VB or C# pages then search for the extension inside Tools > Extensions and Updates...
Javascript Map Parser
You have to add in aspx into the pages is parses but it's exactly what I needed to quickly find functions in a big section of Javascript I had.
Make sure you in code behind file.
In my case I was looking at code (VB) server side code inside .aspx page, and the dropdown only for code behind files (.aspx.vb or aspx.cs)

In compare option inside the source control, the scrolling is bind together for both files.
I want to scroll just one of the sides while the other stay pinned also I want to avoid comparing outside on the VS.
I can't find any solution online and there is no obvious option in the VS.
I'm Using VS2015 with TFS.
Thank you.
EDIT
New feature request for microsoft was opened
Feature request
EDIT
In VS1029 Version 16.11.3 feature exist, by pressing it you can unbind the windows
In compare option inside the source control, the scrolling is bind
together for both files.
For this , I am afraid this is by designed. The same is true for my test in visual studio2019.
You could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site , which is our main forum for product suggestions. After suggest raised, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. The product team would provide the updates if they view it.
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 :
https://github.com/sboulema/CodeNav/blob/master/README.md
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.
I have to modify an old VB6 program that uses ActiveReports 2.0 at work and I am having some problems (BTW I have never used this program before and only have a basic knowledge of VB6)...
I have to make some text boxes biggers which is pretty easy to do but as soon as I move them a whole section of text (and not simply the content of that text box) disappear.
I have noticed that it was in some sort of section (sorry, I don't know how they call that) which englobed those text boxes so I made it bigger and that made no difference.
What could be causing this?
Thank you!

It sounds like the TextBox is inside a UserControl. A UserControl is created by a developer, and is basically one control with any number of other controls in it. You can check to see if there are any User Controls in your project in the Project Explorer (Ctrl+R).
One way to know exactly what class the control belongs to is to open your form in design mode (Shift+F7), click on the control, and look at the Properties window (F4). The drop-down list should show the currently selected control's class name in bold, then the name of the object.
What is the control's class? If it is anything other than TextBox, then this would explain the unexpected behavior you experienced.
Any DevExpress control I use, just renders a list. I’ve tried all 3 possible syntaxes (listed on the site below) and every time, the control I want to use (TreeView, NavBar, etc.) just renders as a bulleted list. Any ideas why? I’ve checked Google and the DevExpress support center, but I can’t find any issues like this.
DevExpress with razor guide: http://documentation.devexpress.com/#AspNet/CustomDocument9944
I just put this code on my index page to test that DevExpress is working:
#{Html.DevExpress().NavBar(settings => {
settings.Name = "myNavBar";
settings.Groups.Add("Group1").Items.Add("Item1-1");
settings.Groups.Add("Group2").Items.Add("Item2-1");
settings.Groups.FindByText("Group2").Expanded = false;
}).Render();}
When it reaches the page, it just shows a bulleted list:
Group1
Item1-1
Group2
Any ideas what's causing this?
The project I was working on was being rendered inside another project. I just needed to get rid of my project's layout and add using statements to the cshtml pages:
#using DevExpress.Web.Mvc.UI;
#using DevExpress.Web.Mvc;
The only problem I still have, is the scriptlet code gets highlighted red (but it builds/works fine and has intellisense).
It seems that any required DevExpress' entry is not registered within the MasterPage (_Layout.cshtml) / Web.config http://help.devexpress.com/#AspNet/CustomDocument8163. I suggest that you use specially designed Visual Studio Project Templates http://help.devexpress.com/#AspNet/CustomDocument9145 to avoid missing any required DevExpress' entry.
