Does anyone else have this issue? There does not seem to be a way to edit the Solution Explorer toolbar. One of the icons for Solution Explorer is missing in my C# projects.
I am using Version 16.10.3 of Visual Studio 2019.

Missing View Code button

    I think that I have discovered the issue. When you create a (.NET Core 3.1 or .NET Core 5.0) project the VS environment is setup different. I deleted the .NET 5.0 project and recreated as a .NET Standard project & solution with the same name and the icon showed up again.
