Missing buttons in visual studio 2012

Question

When I am in Visual Studio 2012,and working on asp.net pages, my design and split buttons are missing. I only have source. How can I get these back.

Answer 1

Look at the bottom of the window. Take a look at this question: Where has Design View gone in Visual Studio 2012?

If they aren't there, enable them: Visual Studio 2012 - where has ASPX design and split view gone?
