Add option for BarButtonItem not appearing in Visual Studio form Designer

Question

Sometimes when I open my Visual Studio form designer, I see the [Add] text to create a new BarButtonItem, other times I don't. This has led me to search for a way to create a new button several times now. Any idea what might be causing this?

Try to right click your bar manager, and check the Show DesignTime Enhancements. Here is a link that may help.
