  Step 1:  Locating Project Explorer

Open a Report
Project Explorer window is located in upper, right corner of your development environment. This is a powerful tool for viewing the contents and properties of your project.
  Step 2:  Viewing Project Contents

Open a Report
Project Explorer shows the contents of your current solution in a tree structure. This helps to organize your project contents in different folders. Images, style sheets, themes and new files are automatically added to their proper location in Project Explorer. A Visual InterDev Web project typically consists of several dozen files. Project Explorer helps to view and organize these contents in an easy to use way.
  Step 3:  Viewing File Properties

Open a Report
Select any file in Project Explorer and click on the "Properties" button. This will show properties of the currently selected file in the properties window.
  Step 4:  Opening File for Editing

Open a Report
Click on the "Open" button to open currently selected file into editor. You can also open any file by double-clicking it in Project Explorer.
  Step 5:  Refreshing

Open a Report
Click on the "Refresh" button. This will refresh contents of the Project Explorer window. This will essentially read the contents of your current solution folder and will rebuild the Project Explorer's tree structure.
  Step 6:  Synchronizing

Open a Report
Click the "Synchronize" button to synchronize your Project Explorer contents with disk information.
