In Visual Studio 2010 how to get Solution Explorer to highlight the file you are viewing?

Question

I like the NaviateTo option in Visual Studio 2010, but for some reason I can't figure out how to get VS to highlight the current file I am viewing.

Its one thing to navigate to the file, but I also want to know where the file is and not have to dig around for it.

Answer 1

I assume you mean, highlight in Solution Explorer.

For that, you can go to:

Tools -> Options -> Projects And Solutions

Check the Track Active Item in Solution Explorer option

Answer 2

Go to Tools - Options. Under Projects and Solutions - General. Check the 'Track Active Item in Solution Explorer' checkbox.
