In Visual Studio 2005/2008 you could have your documents automatically arrange by the most recently used. The registry setting doesn't work for Visual Studio 2010. Does anybody know how to enable this feature for 2010.
This was an undocumented feature in VS 2005/2008. I was a big fan of it as well, and was wondering what happened to it. It appears that they've axed the feature from VS 2010.

I recently started a new job, and got a machine with Visual Studio 2013 Proffesional installed. This would be great, except the colleague that I'm working with is using Visual Studio 2010. As far as I know, there is no way to work on the same project (or solution), without having quite a lot of issues, is this correct?
And if so, is it still possible to download Visual Studio 2010 (from a reliable source)? I cannot seem to find it anywhere in my MSDN subscriber downloads. All I can find is a stuff like service packs, tools, etc. Did they terminate the support of it?
You work on visual studio 2013 but there are option to select which version of visual studio you want select 2010 and run your project.
You should be able to open Visual Studio 2013 solutions in 2010, if you install Visual Studio 2010 SP1. There is a possibility that some project types won't be supported, but the solution should open.
We just switched over to VS 2013 and I heard that you're supposed to be able to
generate code maps for your entire application. Awesome feature indeed, that could
get new developers on our project up to speed.
Watched a couple of tutorials, but when I tried to just right click on a method
in the application, the 'Show on Code Map' context menu is missing. In fact, I
can't find anything in VS that has anything to do with Code Maps.
My version:
Visual Studio Premium 2013
I tried installing Modeling SDK for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, but that didn't do anything.
Anyone got any ideas?
You need Visual Studio ULTIMATE to create Code Maps.

This has changed for Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017:
The Enterprise Edition allows creating code maps.
The Community and Professional Editions can open diagrams generated in other Visual Studio editions in read-only mode.
I originally created an ASP.NET site in Visual Studio 2010 a few years ago and it went through the VS 2010 SP1 update as well. This meant that Visual Studio 2012 opened the solution without performing a one time upgrade.
The issue I am having is that the built-in browser selector in Visual Studio 2012 is not available for this project and the settings only let you use the default browser.
When I looked in the .SLN file, the version line indicates Visual Studio 2012 (i.e. # Visual Studio 2012) and no other setting in there appears to have anything to do with this limitation.
Has anybody had this issue and, if so, can you please let me know how your overcame it?
Thanks!
You're going to have to upgrade your project to allow it to make use of Visual Studio 2012 only features. Note, if you do this you will no longer be able to open your project in earlier versions of VS.

For VS 2010 , you can install WoVS Default Browser Switcher extension

I don't know whether it is missing in Visual Studio 2012 but I wonder why I cannot see the advanced tooltip feature in 2012.
In VS2010, once you hover your mouse over a code, it displays the following:
But it is how it looks right now in Visual Studio 2012:
And it looks rather primitive compared to Visual Studio 2010.
That's from a Visual Studio Plug-in. I think it's either PowerTools or VSCommands. You should install the same plug-in in VS2012, and you should get that behavior back.
(Just confirmed that it's Productivity Power Tools that provides that feature.)
I have a feeling that the Visual Studio SDK is targeted heavily towards the version of Visual Studio it is created for, so I'm wondering how to do this in the best way possible. I currently only have Visual Studio 2008, but people using Visual Studio 2010 have begun wanting to use my tool as well, and I want to help them out. There were some using Visual Studio 2005 as well. Is there any way to do this without maintaining two (or three) different versions of the tool in different versions of Visual Studio?
This question is related, maybe it helps: Does Visual Studio 2010 have backward compatibility with visual studio 2008's addins?
