When I debug in Visual Studio the Solution Explorer is closed.
How do I make it stay open?
Open Solution Explorer 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, or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L.
Click the Auto Hide (vertical pushpin) button on the Solution Explorer window. The Solution Explorer window now appears as a tab on the edge of the IDE.
Just drag and drop onto the mechanic and dock the solution explorer window to the left side of the window. You must drop the panel onto the fastener, in the position you wish it to be docked (in the case, the rectangle on the left of the fastener, highlighted with a red circle).
If you open the Solution Explorer during a debugging session, it should get saved as a preference when you close Visual Studio, making sure that it gets opened the next time you debug.
When debugging go to View -> Solution Explorer to see the solution explorer. As long as you don't close it, it should show up wherever you leave it the next time you are debugging.
