Cannot find Property Manager option in Visual Studio (not Express version)

Question

I need to work with the Property Sheet of a project. I followed instruction on msdn to try to find Property Manager under View, but I do not see Property Manager as a menu

Answer 1

It is under View --> Other Windows --> Properties Manager. It works.

Answer 2

Property Manager is a moot utility now. Since the property sheet is defined for each project, it can be edited by right clicking on the project and selecting properties. If you need to edit multiple projects once, just select all the projects you want to effect a change and do the right clicking trick. This brings up the same property pages as it would from Property Manager.

Answer 3

Since none of the given answers worked for me here are my two cents.

Like any well hidden menu in Visual Studio this one can be found by opening Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> Keyboard and searching for "View.PropertyManager". There you can give it a global shortcut. While this only helps if you know the name of the menu or command you are looking for it's much faster go through a bunch of guesses this way than by randomly browsing menus.

Answer 4

Try resetting your View menu, Property Manager should indeed be there.

1. Go to Tools -> Customize.
2. In the popup window, select the Commands tab.
3. Select the Menu bar: button, and in the dropdown menu select View
4. Click Reset All and confirm.

This should restore Property Manager to your View menu.

Answer 5

To see the Property Manager you need to have Expert Settings enabled. You can find this option in:

Tools -> Settings
