Sharp Develop Issue

Thursday, October 19, 2006 5:17 PM

I hope they fix this.

I just installed #develop 2.1 Beta 1 to take a look at it. I don't planned to replace my VS2005 with it, especially since I'm programming in C++ a lot and #develop isn't a C++ IDE.;)

Unfortunately #develop changed the filetype association of sln files, so now my C++ projects are opened with #develop. To make things even worse, I opened up the options and told #develop to not associate with sln files and now those files are associated neither with Visual Studio nor with #develop. Restoring the association to Visual Studio isn't that simple, because VS uses a shell extension to display different sln file icons for different project format versions (VS05 projects have a small "8.0", VS03 projects a small "7.1" and so on).

Since Visual Studio doesn't seem to provide a way to reassociate file types, I'll have to reinstall Visual Studio. :(

It would be great if you'd stop #develop automatically associating with sln files. Instead you should extend the installer to ask the user which filetypes it should associate with and which not.

In Visual Studio 2005, select Tools, Options, then Environment. Mash the big button that says "Restore File Associations" and you are back in business. 10/19/2006 5:48 PM | Robert Porter

The above response is a good suggestion. You may also be able to solve this problem by, right clicking on the file and clicking open with, choose VS2005 and select the check box to always use this program for this file type. 10/19/2006 6:17 PM | Joseph Calhoon
