Moving file associations from Visual Studio 2005 to 2008

Both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 are installed on my PC, but when I open the .aspx or .master file from Explorer it opens in 2005. I would like them to open in 2008.

I can change the file associations manually, but there are quite a few file extensions.

Is there an easy way to get all file associations back in 2008?

maybe it is: Options -> Environment -> General -> Restore File Associations

You have to do it like this.

First create a text file (associate) with all existing settings

assoc | findstr -i VisualStudio > assocs

      

Next, edit this file from 8.0 to 9.0 in cases such as:

.vbdproj = VisualStudio.vbdproj.8.0 -> .vbdproj = VisualStudio.vbdproj.9.0



Next, save this file and run the following command to create a batch file for changing settings:

for /f "tokens=1-10 delims==" %i in (assocs.) do @echo assoc %i=%j >> new_assocs.bat

      

Finally, run the batch file:

new_assocs.bat
