Maintaining simple documents within VSexp 2005/2008
-
Is there any nice way of maintaining text documents within VS 2005/2008 with--at minimum--word-wrap functionality equivalent to Notepad? It's possible to add files to a project with extension .txt and not have the compiler try to do anything with them, but trying to maintain paragraph formatting by hand is rather tiresome. Is there a better way?

Hi, you can add whatever file you want to a VS project. a text document can be edited with VS if need be, you can set its Properties/BuildAction to None even if you don't want word wrapping in (some) languages, you can turn on word wrapping in Tools/Options/TextEditor/General and turn it off for specific programming languages. and you can assign an external tool to a specific file, so you could open a project's TXT file in Notepad too. PS: the above checked on VS2008 Express, probably also true for 2005 and maybe earlier versions. :)
