Refactor, Organize Usings commands missing from Visual Studio context menu

Question

In VS 2010, Silverlight, C#. I have multiple .cs files. In some of them the 'Refactor' and 'Organize Usings' (among other items) in the right-click context menu are missing.

Why are they missing? How can they be brought back?

Answer 1

I had the same problem after installing ReSharper. "Organize Usings > Remove and Sort" and some other shortcuts were missing in the context menu.

You can still invoke the commands (when availiable) via

Edit > Intellisense > Organize Usings > Remove and Sort

To show them in the context menu again (in case of ReSharper causing the trouble) goto

ReSharper > Options... > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > Menus & Toolbars >
   Uncheck 'Hide overridden Visual Studio Menu items'
