Visual Studio 2013 C# WinForms - Clicking on a control won't show properties

Question

Since this morning something is not working as usual while using Visual Studio 2013. Normally, when you press on a control (button, label etc) you also see it's properties in the right. However, now if I press on it the properties box stays empty, it shows no text, but the control is selected because it has that line made out of points around it. What do I do? I couldn't find the answer in other questions asked by others.

Thanks alot !

PS If a picture of the properties box is needed I will display one.

Well, you can always right-click on the control, and select properties from there. You can restart VS, which fixes MOST graphical anomalies. If that still doesn't work, restart your machine. And, if all else fails, reinstall VS. It's ridiculously easy to do these days..
