We have a very large solution project for our MVC structure where I work. I am trying to filter my solution explorer down to only relevant files with a custom filter. Microsoft has an article on making a custom filter here, but when I try to build the source code they give it says one of the .NET Framework namespaces is not available (I have already reinstalled .NET). The namespace that won't resolve is: System.ComponentModel.Composition. I am hoping fixing this will allow me correctly build a filter (there are 5 errors in the project total).

I definitely have the 2012 SDK installed (you won't make it far in the tutorial without it).

The Funnel extension may be what you're looking for:

Decrease solution loading and re-compilation times dramatically by filtering projects not relevant for the current task.

The extension loads just the projects defined in filters (load filters must be defined before using them).

    Welcome to SO. It's considered good practice to paste main information in linked pages so it'll always available. Thanks. – RiaD Aug 17 '13 at 17:37

You've to add reference to "System.ComponentModel.Composition" assembly. This reference is in framework 4.0.

If you've problem referencing or finding this assembly, refer to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6310236/2617201
