Does anyone know how to get my class name and method name dropdown lists again? It's the dropdown lists that are usually above the code. It's just a setting but i can't seem to find it. I don't want to reset my setting btw. I shouldn't have to.
Visual Studio Solutions
Solution 1 - Visual Studio
Tools-->Options... Text Editor-->All Languages Check "Navigation Bar."
(Picture is from VS2013)
Solution 2 - Visual Studio
Tools - Options - Text Editor - (choose the type of file - C#, html, etc) - General
In the bottom section of the form (The "Display" area) make sure that "Navigation Bar" is checked.
Solution 3 - Visual Studio
Actually there is a bug in VS2013, where if you place VS on the monitor on the left side, and this is not your primary monitor, then the dropdowns will not work.
Solution 4 - Visual Studio
I came here searching for a solution for javascript/node.js specifically (in VS 2013). Only by doing further search I found out that this feature has been removed (from RC) due to stability/performance reasoning and is not available anymore.
Also, I did not see this added again through either node tools or web essentials.
Solution 5 - Visual Studio
In VS2015 I just had to toggle this setting off then back on again to get the navigation bar back.
Solution 6 - Visual Studio
If you want a list of javascript functions that works similar to the navigation bar in the VB or C# pages then search for the extension inside Tools > Extensions and Updates...
Javascript Map Parser
You have to add in aspx into the pages is parses but it's exactly what I needed to quickly find functions in a big section of Javascript I had.
Solution 7 - Visual Studio
Make sure you in code behind file.
In my case I was looking at code (VB) server side code inside .aspx page, and the dropdown only for code behind files (.aspx.vb or aspx.cs)
