I had reset all my VS 2008 settings to try to fix a debugging issue, the afterwards when reestablishing some common settings with Tools Options, I suddenly lost the ability to have a specific .aspx file open at the same time as the files aspx.cs code-behind
file. When one is open and I select the other from either a right click list or from the Solution Explorer, the open tab/page closes before its alternate designer or code-behind page is displayed.
I have not been able to find the specific setting that has done this to me and would like some advice as to how to get back to where I can have both pages open simultaneously again.
When one is open and I select the other from either a right click list or from the Solution Explorer, the open tab/page closes before its alternate designer or code-behind page is displayed.
How about double click to open the file?
Maybe the file is opened in some window that you cannot see.
I resolved the issue by using "devenv.exe /ResetSettings" from the command line and then went in and started re-establishing my prior setting a little mor slowly. This worked, but I have yet to find the Tools Options setting that was causing this.

hi ronald,
have you had a chance to try it on a different PC? I just want to make sure that the tool installed on your PC does not have problems
