In Visual Studio 2010, I have an App_Data folder where I keep various data files that I use in my projects. Some have a *.txt extension, some have a *.sql extension. I can open the *.txt files just fine in Visual Studio. When I right click and say open with for the *.txt files, it says Source Code Text Editor as Default. I tried setting Source Code Text Editor as the Default for the *.sql files too, as I just want to open these and edit them just like a text file.
However, when I go to open the *.sql files, Visual Studio stalls out and I get the Visual Studio is not responding message. I then need to use Task Manager to Close VS as it never comes back.
I realize that I can use Ultra Edit or Notepad and edit the files using those applications, but it would be nice to be able to edit them inside of Visual Studio. Why can't I get this to work right?
