How to Open a .cs file in already Opened Visual Studio2005 IDE

[himuskanhere]

Helloo friend, I have to Open a .cs file through C# code. i have code like this ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(); startInfo.FileName = "devenv.EXE"; startInfo.Arguments = path; // (path of .cs file) Process.Start(startInfo); but it creates new instance of VS2005, whereas i want to open a file in already opned VS2005 IDE. Thanks in advance.:cool:

Your starting a new process so obviously it is going to open a new instance.

hmmm pie

that is my question.... i want to open a file in already opened VS editor.

Instead of passing devenv.exe, why not just pass the .cs file. If the file associations on the machine are correct that should work.

Exception occurs: Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided.

Instead of down-voting the answer, why not reread it and use some logic. :mad: This works perfectly for your original question.

void OpenCSFile(string path, string filename)
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = path + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + filename;
Process.Start(startInfo);
}
