Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by wilstark[/i] [br]Consider the following scenario: I have two projects A and B, they share a source file ("a.cs"). One project #define's FOO, the other does not. When VS opens a file, it knows the project context, and the editor shows #ifdef'd out code as greyed/disabled. While debugging, breakpoints may not be set in such code. Clearly, a project A and B will have different views of a.cs if there's an #if FOO block. The project context seems to be determined by which file reference you double-click on in the VS Solution Explorer. Clicking on a.cs in project A will have A's context, for project B will have B's context. When I use the Open File in Solution dialog (love it!), as of version 2217 I would see two entries for a.cs, each with it's own project context. But selecting either just opens the file with one project context (usually the wrong one for me :-( ). This dialog just seems to be unaware of opening a file with a particular context. Now in 2235, a.cs shows up only once (one line) with both project A and B listed as the 'project'. So there's no possibility of opening with a desired project context. Can the Open File in Solution dialog be enhanced to have a separate line for each project (like in 2217) that a file shows up in? And when you open that particular file from that line in the dialog, have the correct context? That would be great! - Wil [/quote]   Check to include your profile signature.
