Visual Studio 2015 - Can't see code to existing project

Question

When I open a C++ project created recently on Visual Studio 2015 I am able to debug it and have it run, but the code window is blank. I've clicked all around and can not find anything to show me the code so I can continue to work on it.

I have tried:

• F7: View Code does not work.
• Opening from the Solution Explorer window does not do anything.
• Searching Google, Stack Exchange, and YouTube tutorials for my identical problem.

I suspect it is a very straightforward misunderstanding of the interface on my part, but wanted to get involved on Stack Exchange to figure it out.

Please clear Visual Studio Cache, then open the Visual Studio again. You can find cache folder on follwing path

C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<VS_version>\ComponentModelCache

Note : Close Visual Studio, and stop all Visual Studio processes.

Answer 2

Fixed with the following for me.

Change 'Color Theme' to something other that what you have. Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Color theme:

Select OK then exit Visual Studio.

Open project and should see your source.
