Your solutions, like in Visual Studio

  • In a repository with Visual Studio solutions (.sln, .slnx), the new ⇄ button in the Explorer header
    switches between the folders on disk and a solution, shown the way Visual Studio's Solution Explorer
    shows it:
    • solution folders and projects (C#, VB, F#, C++);
    • a Dependencies node with frameworks, packages and project references;
    • nested files (App.xaml.cs under App.xaml), linked files and C++ filters.
  • Show All Files adds, in gray, what the projects leave out, like bin, obj and files that aren't in
    the project.
  • Whatever isn't part of the solution stays one click away under Other files.
  • The view follows the active file, shows your git changes and updates by itself when a project file changes.
    Orbit remembers it for each repository.
  • Orbit reads the solution and project files on its own, without running MSBuild.

Build and run from the tree

  • Right-click the solution or a project to Build, Rebuild or Clean it, or Run an executable
    project, in a terminal tab.
  • Orbit uses Visual Studio's MSBuild when it's installed, so C++ projects build too; otherwise it uses
    dotnet.
