Have you ever found yourself getting latest from a team project, and someone else “accidentally” checked in code that doesn’t compile?  Well – none of us are perfect – but – sure we all find this quite annoying. 

So imagemy first instinct is to right click on the file in “Solution Explorer” and back out the file to a previous version – but the file is buried deep in the file hierarchy.

So, instead of hovering over the file name tab in the main window, then following that path in Solution Explorer – found the following option in Visual Studio.

Go to Tools –> Options –> Projects and Solutions and click the “Track Active Item in Solution Explorer”.

Nice…  Try it out.

Re: Visual Studio Tip: Show the Active File in Solution Explorer

The selection is light grey on my computer. Is it possible to change that color?
