Introduction:

One of the features in Microsoft Visual Studio LightSwitch is Views in the Solution Explorer. You cannot find a feature like that in previous Microsoft IDEs like VB.

Types of Views in Solution Explorer:

There are two types of views available in the Solution Explorer.
You can select the type of project view of a LightSwitch project by selecting the project view dropdown button on the Solution Explorer pane of the Visual Studio LightSwitch IDE.

Logical View:

If you think "I don't care I just want to get the job done", then your option is Logical View.
