[dba-VB] Visual Studio docking screwed up

Hi John,

Found this in a search - it's for VS 2005 but my screen (2010) shows the
same:

   1. Choose Tools -> Import and Export Settings...
   2. Select Reset All Settings and click Next
   3. Select whether you would like to save the current settings and click
Next
   4. Select the settings you want to use and click Finish

Good Luck,
Dan

OK, I discovered that if I dragged the pane to the little "dock icon" in the
middle it would dock on 
the side with the tabs at the bottom.  I am still a little confused (nothing
new there) but I am at 
least working.

Now, even though I told VS that I want to use the C# environment, it appears
that maybe it didn't 
set me up for that.  For example I used to use F6 (I think) to build the
project.  Now F6 is ignored 
and I have to use Ctl-Shft-B.  Also when I go to create a new project it
immediately offers to build 
a VB project, not a C# project.  I know I have found the property that tells
VS which environment to 
use but I am not finding it now.  Where is that thing?
