In Visual Studio 2008, automatically highlight file in Solution Explorer when switching to it in tabs

Asked by eChalk in Visual Studio

I remember at some point my Visual Studio 2005 was behaving in this manner, but something changed and I've never been able to get it to act like this again.

Using Visual Studio 2008 to develop an ASP.NET web site
Create two folders within the web site
Create one file within each folder
Open both files, so now you have two tabs open
Collapse the Solution Explorer folder trees
Now select the tab to switch between the files and edit them
When you select the tab of a file, I want Solution Explorer to automatically expand and highlight the file that was tabbed to and edited

Is there some way to configure it to do this?  Does anyone else remember Visual Studio ever doing anything like this?Start Free Trial
