Is it possible to add an Examples menu like in the original Arduino IDE?

Thanks, nice to have everything in one place.

Now I have another problem, when I open an example it adds it to the existing solution, which is not what I want.

I want to look/modify/test an example as a new solution, so I have to close the current solution or open another instance of the IDE?

Another folder seems to ave been created called My Examples with the examples I opened in Visual Studio. 

I got myself pretty confused between closing tabs and opening examples!

Thanks for your help.

One other point. If you have multiple projects in a single solution then notice that only one of the projects is displayed with its name in bold.

The bold one is the "Startup" project, it is the one that will be uploaded to the arduino when you press F5

To set a project as the "Start-up" project, right click the project name in the solution explorer and click "Set as StartUp Project".

In vs you can open any file you like, the file doesn't become a part of a project it's just for reference. 

You can click the X to close the file when you have finished with it.

When you compile an arduino project the plugin looks at the actual files in the project/sketch folder to determine what needs to be compiled. Therefore, whatever additional files you have in visual studio (that are not part of the sketch) will be safely ignored.

It might seem a bit of a new concept to you but it will feel right once you have used it for a while. 

So you have one project open and one additional file. 

When you click into the additional file to edit it you will notice that nothing is selected in the solution explorer. 
When you click a valid project file to edit you will notice that it also becomes selected (below the project) in the solution explorer.  So this clearly shows  what are project files and what are additional files.

Got it now.

Thanks!
