I'm starting out with Xamarin and am finding Visual Studio to have many pitfalls :(
I clicked the "X" button on the left/right hand side tabs and they've vanished ... now I can't find how to recover them!
How can I show the "Solution", "Document Outline", "Unit Tests", "Toolbox" & "Properties" tabs in the following situation (as I'm about to reinstall the software :/)
Please, look at the image below.
In the latest version of Visual Studio (Enterprise 2017) it has moved a little bit.
It is now under: View -> Other Windows -> Document Outline
Or you can use the shortcut Ctrl+W, U

How does one turn off grey suggestions in Visual Studio 2022, but keep the table below?
Depending on used version of VS 2022 (mine is 17.0.1, not preview), you can go to Tools->Options->IntelliCode and disable Show completions for whole lines of code option
Another option can be found in Controlling Whole line completions docs
Just use small button near Zoom drop-down in the left bottom corner of main editor
You can disable that "IntelliCode Code Completions" feature in Visual Studio 2022 by going to Tools ==> Options ==> Preview Features and uncheck Enable all IntelliCode preview features
See: Visual Studio IntelliCode Whole line completions
See also: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/intellicode/
Note: We have several Preview features which are off by default and
can be enabled through the Tools > Options > IntelliCode page.
When I go to Project Properties/Publish tab this error is being shown I have searched it alot but nothing valuable is found, Thanks in Advance.
Updating Visual Studio should work, if not then Reinstalling Visual Studio will be required.
Windows 7: Go to Add and Remove Programs, find Visual Studio Installer (+year)
and choose 'change'. Once the window opens, click 'modify'
The default update options should be fine, simply click 'Modify'/'update' in the bottom right corner. Your project should be able to open the publish page after it finishes.
Whenever I ctrl+click on a class (such as UserEnabledController in this picture) to view the implementation it navigates me to the implementation in a non split maximized window as usual, but when I navigate back to this AccountController there is an annoying split screen that is sort of previewing the UserEnabledController. How do I turn this setting off? I am on Visual Studio 2017 professional as a fresh install with the latest version of Resharper 2018.1 Ultimate.
Tools, options, & search for "Peek" disable "Control click shows definitions in Peek"
I have Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio 2010 then i upgraded to Visual Studio 2012.
When i open a .xaml file i can see only the xaml source and not the visual designer. With the 2010 version all works good.
I tried reinstalling and doing a reset of settings from command line but nothing changes. I have no errors. If i click on "Show projection window" it open again the xaml source and not the visual designer.
Why i can't see the visual designer? My PC is a HP 655 Notebook with 4GB RAM and ATI HD Raedon 7600 graphics card.
Thank you in advance.

I know I'm coming to this quite late, but one thing I found was going to:
Tools > Options > Text Editor > XAML > Miscellaneous
Then see if "Always open documents in full XAML view" is checked. If so, uncheck it. (VS2010)
I just had something like that, too, when I tried to 'reproduce' your situation by dragging the splitbar between designer and xaml all the way up. It disappeared and I couldn't get the desigener back by neither resetting the window layout nor by restarting VS. But my problem was solved simply by chosing View-Designer or Shift-F7. Good luck
How do I switch between debug and release in Visual C# 2010 Express?
I have looked in the project properties, but it seems to be missing. What am I missing?
Enable the Tools → Settings → Expert Settings menu option
Go to Tools → Options
In the dialog box, check Show All Settings option in the bottom left.
In the above dialog, now choose Projects and Solutions → General.
Check the option Show advanced build configurations.
Click OK.
You should be able to see the Release/Debug options in the toolbar now.
Heh, that one baffled me too when I first installed Visual C# Express 2010. It turns out Microsoft has added a "Basic settings" mode to the Express editions that is selected by default.
You can change to "Expert settings" mode in the Tools menu, after that, the Debug/Release combo will be back.
Most IDE settings (window docking locations, font settings, etc.) seem to be kept in separate profiles between basic and expert mode, so you'll have to arrange your tool windows again and so on.
I'm sure there's some obscure way that I don't remember... what I do know is that if you click "Build" it will build the Release version, but if you click "Start Debugging" it will build the Debug version. So if you just want to be able to get the output from both versions, that should sort it for you.
You can follow these steps for visual studio 2010 professional edition.
Go to Tools -> Customize .
Select Commands Tab.
Select ToolBar and then Build from combobox.
Click on Add Command Button.
Select Build from Categories and then select Solution Configurations from Commands.
This is really strange. I've installed Windows 7 Pro x64, then I installed Visual C# 2010 Express and I couldn't find it at all. No matter how I built, it always produced Debug version. I could press F6 or press Build button and it still produced Debug version and I don't have any select box with Debug/Release to choose.
Finally I found it. I can change it by clicking my Soulution in Solution Explorer window and then in Properties window under Active Config.
The last answer by prostynick was the final clue.
I am using visual studio 2010 express.
First you need to have the advanced setting checked Tools ---> Settings
Next is solution explorer double left click or single right click "My Project" to open the project.
You get a large screen with application, compile, debug ... menu on the side
Select Compile
Look at "Build Output path:
It is probably pointing at bin\Debug folder.
Changing this will change where output from a build goes
