When adding a file using

ProjectItem item = _folder.Parent.ProjectItems.AddFromFile(destination);

Visual studio automatically opens the file. Is there any way of doing this that wont open the file as we have a number of files that use external editors and when they are added to a solution visual studio decides that it wants to launch them automatically

Hi avaya12,

This is a confirmed bug in Visual Studio (not GAX nor GAT), you may want to try to post to the VS extensibility forum to learn if they're offering any workaround for this until they fix it in a future VS release.

I know how much of a pain this bug can cause. I'll reping my team about this as I believe we somehow got to bypass it although I can't remember the specifics. I'll post them here when I do.

In the meantime please try to post to VS extensibility to see what they've to say about this.

thanks,
