Today I would like to share a quick Visual Studio tip with you – did you know about the ‘Filter by Solution’ option in the Pending Changes window of Visual Studio?

This feature is very useful when you are editing files across multiple solutions as it allows you to filter out any changes you are making to other projects or solutions to allow you to concentrate on the current solution.

For example, I’m currently editing a couple of files and adding a database SQL script to a web application, and working on validation in a second application.

Once I click the Filter by Solution button (), the Pending Changes window only shows the single file I am editing for the current application.
