Does anyone know how to get my class name and method name dropdown lists again? It's the dropdown lists that are usually above the code. It's just a setting but i can't seem to find it. I don't want to reset my setting btw. I shouldn't have to.

This is still a "feature" in VS2019. If the class and method dropdowns are missing, toggle the Navigation Bar setting on/off/on and it should re-appear.– robnickCommented Feb 27, 2020 at 3:39
Tools - Options - Text Editor - (choose the type of file - C#, html, etc) - General
In the bottom section of the form (The "Display" area) make sure that "Navigation Bar" is checked.
Actually there is a bug in VS2013, where if you place VS on the monitor on the left side, and this is not your primary monitor, then the dropdowns will not work.

This bug seems to have been fixed with Visual Studio Update 3.– gitsitgoCommented Aug 21, 2014 at 18:21

I came here searching for a solution for javascript/node.js specifically (in VS 2013). Only by doing further search I found out that this feature has been removed (from RC) due to stability/performance reasoning and is not available anymore.
Also, I did not see this added again through either node tools or web essentials.

In VS2015 I just had to toggle this setting off then back on again to get the navigation bar back.
If you want a list of javascript functions that works similar to the navigation bar in the VB or C# pages then search for the extension inside Tools > Extensions and Updates...
Javascript Map Parser
You have to add in aspx into the pages is parses but it's exactly what I needed to quickly find functions in a big section of Javascript I had.
Make sure you in code behind file.
In my case I was looking at code (VB) server side code inside .aspx page, and the dropdown only for code behind files (.aspx.vb or aspx.cs)
