Change how Visual Studio handles file extensions and create your own
Sunday, June 18, 2006
open the registry editor and navigate to
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\X.X\Languages\File Extensions
where X.X corresponds to the version of VS you have (8.0 is VS 2005)
in my case I wanted to add another html extension called rhtml so:
- create a new 'key' named ".rhtml"
- create a new 'string value' named "(Default)" with a value of the GUID that corresponds to the editor you wish to use (in my case the HTML editor GUID found in the .html key: {58E975A0-F8FE-11D2-A6AE-00104BCC7269})
-create a new 'string value' named "Name" and the value should be a description of the file (in my case "Ruby HTML"
that's it!
