Visual Studio 2012 Show All Files Missing

In my solution, I have three projects: a console application, a class library, and a website project. The Show all files button is visible in the console and the class library project, but soon, clicking on the website project, the button disappears.

I am running Visual Studio 2012.

I had the same problem "Solution Explorer toolbar is missing", for example. Msgstr "Show all files." Here is what I did:

  • Right-click on your "Solution."
  • Select New View of Solution Explorer. A new Solution Explorer window will appear with toolbars.
  • Close the original Solution Explorer window.

Click on the folder that should contain the target file, and the properties of the solution explorer will be changed. Here you can find the "Refresh" and "Show all files" button.

"Show all files" is not displayed in the website project because it is not needed, and all files are already shown in Solution Explorer. I think this is the behavior for older VS versions

None of the above answers worked for me. If so, try right-clicking on any file in your project, and then select Show All Files. The Show All Files icon should now appear in this and in all subsequent windows of Solution Explorer.

YMMV, please. :-)

If you are working in a WebSite project, all files are displayed by default. If there are some missing (added during debugging, etc.), just click the update button at the top of the solution explorer and they should appear.

Automatically hides "Show all files."

Click on the folder with the hidden file, a button should appear.

When you click on the project (the folder under the solution), the solution examines the check for hidden files in all subfolders, this will make the button open.

In Solution Explorer, click the project, and then the Show All Files button appears.

If you click the name of the solution in "explorer", you may not see the "Show all files" button. because an F # project or website can be added in the solution. if you want to see the "Show all files" button, you should click on the name of the project, which is C # or native C ++ or C ++. net.
