Solutions and projects will not display

I was using C# in Visual Studio 2008 when all of a sudden the solutions and project vanished from the properties box. The node where you get a break down of your solutions and projects has gon开发者_JS百科e. It maybe a setting I need to change but why did this happen?

Thank you in advance.

In Visual Studio 2008 Open your solution. Click View -> Solution Explorer.

You're looking for the Solution Explorer.

Check that it isnt minimised on the right, or see if you can make it appear again (I'm guessing in the View menu)
