Bug VS2005 "open with"

When VS2003 is installed :
I can open Form1.cs w/ windows "open with" contextmenu, then it opens the
file w/ notepad & it works fine
but after installing VS2005, "open with" doesnt function correctly.
If I try to open with notepad, it forces an open to VS2005
Bug maybe? any ideas ppl........

No, that's not a bug, this is by design.

If you prefer the .cs file to be opened with Notepad by default, you should
change the file association using the following command:

assoc .cs=txtfile

you can always revert back to VS using:
assoc .cs=VisualStudi o.vcp.8.0

Note that you can achieve the same using Explorer's "Tools - Folder Options"

If it's really doing what Hareth, then it's a bug, regardless of if it's
"by design" or not.

Note that we are talking about what is done by default (i.e via "Open"),
but what is done on a special case (via "Open With....")

I don't have VS2005 available at this location, so I can't confirm or
deny what's happening to Hareth, but I suspect that installing VS2005 has
reset the list of "Recommende d Programs" that "Open With" suggests, and
"Notepad" will be added back once he specifically choose it.

Just took a look on my machine.

Choices are 3 recommended: VS 2005, VS 2003, Notepad, and then the final
choice of "Choose program...".

Choosing Notepad works fine on mine.

Hareth,
It does appear that VS2005 messes up the "associatio ns" somehow...

My "Open with notepad" created when I only had VS 2003 now opens VS 2005
instead of notepad.

If I create a new "Open with wordpad" it opens in Wordpad as I would expect.
After doing this "Open with Notepad" is opening in notepad!

It definitely feels like a bug or quirk instead of "by desing" to me!

Sorry, I misread the OP's posting, thought he was talking about the default
action, not "Open With".
Note that I have VS2005 (Team System) installed and all "Open With" are
still those I had before, they are consistent and remain consistent after
usage.

Hello, I'm seeing this with the ADO.NET SQLClient provider: When I check the connection's open status after it has been opened AND has been broken (I simulate this by disconnecting the cable or by stopping SQL Server), the status returned is "true" or that it is open. The connection status of "broken" is not currently supported and therefore does not work either.
