This is not a strictly COBOL or strictly a Micro Focus question but is more of a general Microsoft Visual Studio question. You would have this issue regardless of the language being used - C #, VB.Net, or VC, and there is no doubt this question has been asked and answered before. I myself struggle with this from time to time, regardless of the programming language. If you did a google search for this, you would find things like the below:
msdn.microsoft.com/.../4k7zyeba.aspx
www.syncfusion.com/.../visualstudio2013
etc. The exact solution may depend on which version of Visual Studio you are using.
Happy hunting!
