Some functionality stopped working

Still kind of new to Arduino so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I have a Visual Micro Pro license and am using VS 2015 Enterprise. Was working on a project a few days ago and everything was fine. I go to work on the project again since some flame sensors came in the mail, and I noticed that the Build and Upload menu option doesn't seem to be working.

I restarted Visual Studio, and now the Build, Build and Upload, and the option for managing libraries (forget what it's called) are all missing. I attached a screenshot of the Visual Micro dropdown menu. that's the entire menu. I'm not sure what happened?

The controls you mention only appear when Visual Micro believes that a valid arduino project is open.

I suspect that you renamed some files so here are the rules:-

The folder name, the project name and an .ino name must all match.

This means, for example, that a project called "blink" would be structured as follows:-

> Directory name = Blink
> Project name = Blink
> The directory contains a source code file called Blink.ino

If you believe these rules apply to your project then please post a screen shot showing the Ide and solution explorer with the project open.

Thanks

Solved, thank you! The problem was that I moved the .ino file to "Source Files" in the Visual Studio project since that made sense to me as a logical place to put it. I moved it back to the project root, restarted VS, and it works fine now.

Great. 

Yes it's a rule of the Arduino Ide so Visual Micro follows it but I have been considering extending it to support .ino outside of root. However that will be a breakage point if you want to use the arduino ide in the future.
