Why the file being worked on is not selected in the solution Explorer in VS?

Question

Hi,

For some reason the VS 2008 I have work on, does not automatically select the file in Solution Explorer that I am editing.

Is there any place in option settings where I can turn this feature on?

Thank you

You want that feature? It was originally the default in VS2003, but there were so many complaints an option to turn it off was added.

Anyway, you can go into Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions | General and set 'Track Active File in Solution Explorer' to turn it back on.
