I had a lot of code in Form1.cs, so I moved some of it into another file,
Form1Op.cs, which is still a partial class of Form1 : Form.
Whenever I open Form1Op.cs, it wants to open in Form Designer rather than in
View Code. How can I change that? (Or can I?)
It compiles fine.

I doubt it. Think about it. The code in Form1.cs is more than likely just
functional code, not the stuff that defines the UI (that's in
Form1.Designer.cs), but what happens when you double-click on Form1? The
designer opens. It would be kind of nice if the IDE would open the designer
only when you double-click the .Designer file and open everything else in
code mode, but I'm sure as many people would complain about that as would
enjoy it.
If you are talking about when you double click on the file name in Solution
Explorer, just right click and view code.

Yes, of course, but I assumed the poster was talking about the "default"
action, i.e., what happens when you double-click, not that he HAD to open it
in Design view and then switch to Code view from there.

Right; I was hoping I could find something to put in the file to keep Designer from thinking it's a form. Also, I'm afraid of corrupting Form1.Designer.cs by running Designer on the wrong code file -- although the way they're named, that shouldn't happen.

It compiles fine.
Every IComponent implementing class has this behavior: it will force
vs.net to open the designer for the type of class.
You can disable this by annotating the class with an attribute. After
that, you can double click it and code is shown. Be sure to type the
full namespace in the attribute even though it's in the using blocks.
attribute to use on the class:
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategory("Code")]
Haven't tested it on a form, but IMHO it should work.

even if you open your Form1Op.cs, the designer will still write all its stuff
to the .designer.cs file, so no worries there...

Can you right click on the file in question, choose Open With....
Then select the code editor and click the "Set as Default" button.
Thereafter, when you double click the file, it should open in the code

It stops Designer from working on Form1 at all. I was only wanting to stop
Designer from working on one of the files that is a partial class Form1.
For now, I gave up on splitting Form1 into partial classes and moved the
code back into Form1.cs as a region.

I apologize if this has already been mentioned, I can't see the entire
thread.
Have you tried edition the project.csproj file? You should have something
like this:
<Compile Include="Form1.cs">
<SubType>Form</SubType>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="Form1Op.cs">
<DependentUpon>Form1.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="Form1.Designer.cs">
<DependentUpon>Form1.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
try adding "<SubType>Form</SubType>" into the Form1Op.cs Compile so you wind
up like this:
<Compile Include="Form1.cs">
<SubType>Form</SubType>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="Form1Op.cs">
<SubType>Form</SubType>
<DependentUpon>Form1.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="Form1.Designer.cs">
<DependentUpon>Form1.cs</DependentUpon>

That sounds promising, but I want to say that Form1Op.cs is *not* a form
(for editing purposes), not that it is one.
In that case, say <SubType>Code</SubType>. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
