When I use "Properties" from the context menu (or hit alt+enter) in a dotnetstandard project VS2017 shows the "Property Pages dialog" instead of the properties window.
In other project this works as expected. Is there a way (setting) to change this behavior?

As written here, under "Project Settings" I should be able to specify the compiler to be used for the current project. However, I cannot find this menu entry in Visual Studio 2019.
I have both Visual C++ 2019 and 2013, and would like to use the new IDE with the old compiler. How can I do it?
Is it possible to do it with the "Community" editions?
Here are the official instructions, taken from this page:
In Visual Studio, in Solution Explorer, open the shortcut menu for
your project (not for your solution) and then choose Properties to
open your project Property Pages dialog box.
In the Property Pages dialog box, open the Configuration drop-down
list and then select All Configurations.
In the left pane of the dialog box, expand Configuration Properties
and then select General.
In the right pane, select Platform Toolset and then select the
toolset you want from the drop-down list. For example, if you have
installed the Visual Studio 2010 toolset, select Visual Studio 2010
(v100) to use it for your project.
Choose the OK button.
You can see a screenshot of my window below:
If I press F5, my project runs but it doesn't "see" any of the changes that I made. I need to manually (re)build before pressing F5 for it to work.
It worked well previously. Any idea what I need to change?
Also :
Right Click on the solution in the solution explorer.
Click on "Properties".
Navigate to configuration Properties -> Configuration on the left side of the window.
Make sur the "Build" checkbox is checked on the line of your project.
Is it possible that you've reconfigured your "Build and Run" settings to "Never build"?
To check, follow these steps:
From the Visual Studio IDE, open the "Tools" menu, and click "Options".
Expand the "Projects and Solutions" header on the left.
Click the "Build and Run" item.
In the combo box labeled "On Run, when projects are out of date", ensure that you have the "Always build" option selected.
Another reason (which I had) could be dependencies.
In Solution Explorer, right click the Startup Project - Build Dependencies - Project Dependencies.
If the project you are working on is not set as a dependency of the Startup project then it won't get Built when you F5 / run.
Ok, for some reason all of the above solutions do not work for me, so I made a Pre-Build event (Right click project -> Properties -> Build Events) where I delete the bin and obj folder before building.
I am new to C# and Visual Studio but i found that going to Build -> Clean Project also worked for me, if you have already tried to select "Always build" option and it didn't work.
I've just upgraded to VS 2017 and unless I'm missing something the view in browser option on the right click menu seems to have vanished.
Anyone know how to get it back?
I just installed Visual Studio 2017 and noticed this option was missing from the Project context menu.
However you can right click on project files to view them in the browser.
To add the "View in Browser" option back into the Project context menu, follow these steps:
Click on Tools > Customize
Select the "Commands" tab
Highlight the "Context menu" option
In the dropdown select "Project and Solution Context Menus | Project"
Click "Add Command"
Select the "File" category
In the Commands list, select "View in Browser" and press OK
You can then position the option in the menu and the option will be available to use once again.
Actually (in 15.8.7), it is still in the context Menu - in a sub-menu under View
Jon L's method will create it in the main menu as well
Alternatively, just use the shortcut - press Ctrl+Shift+W
Concerning the 'View in Browser' in Visual Studio.
In the solution explorer, right-clicking on an allowed web document(htm, html, asp, aspx, etc) allows the page to come up in our default browser.
Most other files do not provide the 'View in Browser' option.
but a right-click on the solution/project/website name(1st in the list at top) does provide the 'View in Browser' option, yet it does not find the default document specified in 'Specific Page' in the 'web' section of (its) properties!~ and instead will display a Directory Listing of the web site root.
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional and have been looking at how to change the icon of my program. One of the solutions suggested I go to the project's properties and in the project designer, click the app section and that I would be able to edit what the icon file is.
My problem is this: When I open the properties of a project, it gives me this
window
From what I understand this is the property page. This is not what I'm looking for. I am told that the project designer looks something like this:
Project Designer
How can I alter my project so that when I click the property setting, it allows me to open the project designer instead of this? Or, how else can I access the project designer?
The first window you showed is the one we get for the properties of a c++ project. The second one we get it for the properties of a c# project.
I have excactly the same problem as you. I need to change some compiler settings.
As the subject says, I'm building my C++ program in Visual Studio 2008. But how could I know if the program built is targeted to 32-bit or 64-bit? I looked around the project properties but couldn't find an option to specify this.
I looked at this article: In Visual Studio, how to correctly build an application for 64-bit machines? But it looks like discussing about C# - I couldn't find any "Any CPU"-like configurations.
Open Visual Studio 2008
Load your project
Once your project is loaded, the VS2008 toolbar should look something like this:
Drop down the list that says "Win32" and choose "Configuration Manager...". This will open the Configuration Manager dialog:
Under "Active Solution Platform", click the drop down list
Select ""
The "New Solution Platform" opens:
Click on the top drop-down (labeled "Type or select the new platform:")
One of the options, at the bottom of the list, should read "x64". Select it.
In the "Copy settings from:" drop-down, choose ""
Check the "Create new project platforms" checkbox
Press the "OK" button
The New Solution Platform dialog closes, and now the x64 platform will be available for you to use in the Configuration Manager dialog.
In the Configuration Manager dialog, for each project in your solution, choose the appropriate platform:
Keep in mind that once you have the x64 platform added to Configuration Manager, you'll probably have to setup appropriate configurations (Release, etc.)
