Can I tell Visual Studio how treat a file with a custom file extension?


Can I tell Visual Studio how treat a file with a custom file extension? I want to be able to open a file with ".xxx" extension in Visual Studio and have CSS highlighting.

I've tried to do it by going to VS -> Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension but in the Editor drop down there is nothing to specify "treat it as CSS".


Solution

  • In Visual Studio go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > File Extension

    There you can add specific extensions and choose which 'Editor' Visual Studio uses for that extension.
