Can i collapse all nodes in solution explorer in visual studio?

Question

In visual studio, there seems to be no way to collapse all of a project's folders in solution explorer?

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Anyone? This has dogged me for years, i just wish there was a way without macros and addins, like they mention in this similar question Collapse all files at once in Solution Explorer window in Visual Studio

微软发布了一个非常方便的扩展名为CollapseSelection ，它就是这样做的。

Answer 2

Yes you can. Right click the project in solution explorer > Unload. Then reload the project.

An age old problem fixed.

Yes, that's very easy in the newer versions of Visual Studio (VS 2015 onwards). Simply press the buttons

Ctrl + Up Arrow + Up Arrow

Note: Hold the Control button and press the Up Arrow twice while the focus is on Solution Explorer.
