 Visual Studio provides a Solution Explorer window that enables you to

explore and manage your solutions and projects.

upper-right side of the Visual Studio.

 If you don't see the Solution Explorer tool window, you can open it from

the Visual Studio menu bar by using View > Solution Explorer.

 Solution Explorer displays the projects that form your solution, the files

and folders in a project as they appear on the physical hard drive, and

any assemblies, COM objects or files the project references.

 The context menus within Solution Explorer provide a variety of

commands that help you manage your projects.

multiple selected items.

 If multiple items are selected, the intersection of all properties for

all selected objects is displayed.

events of selected objects that are located in editors and designers.

 You can also use the Properties window to edit and view file,

project, and solution properties.

depending on the needs of a particular property.
