Getting the Right Toolbars

Until now, you've seen the different IDE features and how to access them from the various menu items on the main Visual Studio .NET menu.

Each item you've seen so far also has its own toolbar. To view a list of available toolbars, you can right-click the main toolbar on the top of the IDE and a checked list of toolbars pops up. To view a toolbar, simply select it from the list. If you select a toolbar that isn't specific to the item you're working on in the IDE, the toolbar buttons are disabled. Figure 2.24 lists the available toolbars for the Visual Studio .NET IDE.
