Visual Studio 2013 Pro: I've lost ability to browse class members in Solution Explorer

Like the subject says, I've suddenly lost the ability to view class members (properties and methods, or any structure at all) from the Solution Explorer. I've looked in settings unsuccessfully (not that I changed anything), and have tried cleaning the solution, rebuilding, restarting Visual Studio, etc. to no avail. What could be causing this? Thank you.

This setting is controlled by the UseSolutionNavigatorGraphProvider registry value from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0.

If you have the VSCommands extension installed, you can control it from Tools - Options - VSCommands 12 - IDE Enhancements - Solution Explorer - Disable Graph provider.

How to keep “new solution explorer views” after reload a project in Visual Studio 2015?

Every time I load my project I do organize my workspace into 3 "new solution explorer view". One Solution Explorer for the views folder, one for the models folder and the last one for the controllers folder.

However when I close and reopen my project it is set back to the default workspace. Is possible to keep those created solution explorer views ?

The Save workspace option don't work with multiples solutions explorers.

Unfortunately, the short answer is "you can't". I have been attempting to find a solution utilising the MS Macro addin, and some of the other tools available, but none of them seems to be able to automate the opening of additional solution views, let alone a way of persisting them once they are set up.

I was quite surprised that the "Save Window Layout" feature in VS2015 doesn't allow you to do this either. It simply ignores any additional solution views. My theory on this is that, as the views are solution specific, it doesn't make sense to have them persisted as a default for the entire environment.

The simplest way is to rename the nested files. They are only nested if they have the exact same name before the dot. Just put an underscore before the name or another prefix you like.

Remember: You need to rename them outside of Visual Studio.

Normally JS and CSS files are stored in separate folders. That would also solve your problem. I guess this is the better way to do it.

fyi: For other project types, there is a Visual Studio Extension, which modifies the nested state. Maybe this will be updated, once Asp.Net Core is finally released.
