    How to Move the server explorer to the left

    Hi All,

    How can I Move the Server explorer window to the left. When ever I double click on the Server explorer top window it goes to the bottom of the IDE.

    Thanks,

    Doron

    In VS2005, click on the title bar and drag it over to the left. The
    docking guide should show up that looks like a Plus sign (sort of);
    click
    on the left one. I think you can also just drag it over there until it
    shows the outline of where it's going to put it, and drop it then.

      Hi Robin,

      When I drag it to the left I see the up and down left and right arrows.
      When I right click on the Server Explorer Title bar, the option says
      Dockable,
      I never really can dock it unless I double click on the title bar and then
      it goes
      to the wrong area.

      Regards,

      Doron

        So did you set it to Dockable and move it successfully?

          Hi Robin,

          It was NOT able to sucessfully dock it within the left side of the IDE. This
          is Visual Studio 2005.
          It is only dockable when I doble click it and then it goes to the bottom of
          the IDE.
          How can I click on the left arrow while I drag it? I asume that what you
          meant.

          Regards,

          Doron

            Is dockable checked when you right-click on the title bar where it says
            "Server Explorer" ?

            When I drag mine, I get the sort-of plus sign in the middle. Mouse over
            the left arrow (they also show up on the edges of the window) and it
            will shade the left side of the Visual Studio workspace. Let it go, and
            it should dock it on the left.

              window as another tab. When I drag the Solution explorer over the
              right side of the screen, I get another "plus sign" which allows me to
              dock it to the right side of the screen. I get a similar functionality
              on the left side.

                You're right! Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I always drag
                it out to the edges of the VS window.

                Just to clarify, the "plus sign" in the middle will dock it to the
                code
                window as another tab. When I drag the Solution explorer over the

                  OK when you align the window on top of the arrow, then it will be docked to
                  that side where the arrow is pointing to.
