Datasheet

To switch between documents, you can press Ctrl+Tab or you can click the down arrow in the upper-
right corner of the Document Window, as shown in Figure 1-9. Clicking the down arrow reveals a list
of open documents so you can easily select one.

Another way to switch documents is to press Ctrl+Tab and then hold the Ctrl key down. On the window
that pops ups, you can select a document you want to work with in the right hand column. You can then
use the cursor keys to move up and down in the list with open documents and get a live preview of each
document. This makes it super easy to select the correct file.
On the same dialog box, you see a list with all active tool windows. Clicking one of the windows in the
list will show it on-screen, moving in front of other windows if necessary.
The Start Page
Whenever you start up VWD, the Start Page is loaded in the Document Window. With the Start Page,
you can quickly create new web sites or open existing ones. The Start Page is also used to give you access
to some common help topics and shows headlines from the Microsoft web site. The main part of the Start
Page is used to display an RSS feed with information from the MSDN Visual Web Developer team.
To get a feel of how you can use all these windows, the following Try It Out shows you how to build a
simple web page that contains a few ASP.NET Server Controls.
