The Projects panel in Blend for Visual Studio 2012 helps you perform the following tasks:

• View all files associated with the currently open project.

• Open your project files for editing.

• Manage your project files.

For information about how to work with the Projects panel, see the topics under Managing solutions, projects, and files in Blend.
