Visual studio IDE for duplicate editor view of AOT object

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 901

Hi guys,

It is a bit difficult to explain, but how to open a new window of an object in Visual Studio IDE ? I once did it but now I totally forgot how.

Say for example, I have a View and already open in Editor, obviously it will contain nodes like Datasource then the tables and the fields.

It will also have node for Fields down below for the View's field it self. 

As the fields in Datasource / table / fields might get very long list when it is opened because many many fields on that table, it is difficult for us to drag the field to View's fields node down below.

I know I can just Add -> new fields in View's Field node over there if by dragging the fields from Datasource / table / field is not possible (difficult), but I remembered last time there is a menu for open another window which only contain the datasource / table somewhere, just like an old style MorphX 

Anyone can help me on this ?

Thanks

    You can't open it two times but you can often Copy-Paste (Ctrl-C - Ctrl-V) instead of drag&drop to overcome this problem.

    Hmm.. actually I really do discover that trick (by accident), and if not mistaken it was using Visual Studio 2017. Unfortunately can't remember right now.

    Basically it will open a new window editor, so for example if in editor we already open a View, then we can have a new window "smaller", for the fields of its data source so then we can drag which field we want to the Field's node on the original (1st) window.
