When you open a project
or solution in Microsoft Visual Studio, the code editor and Windows
Form Designer windows are opened in the same state they were in
when the project was last saved. Once a project or solution is opened, use
the Solution Explorer to navigate between the files of the opened
project or solution. For information on working with an open project
or solution see, Edit an Existing Project or Solution.
