Expression Blend 2 December preview - Edit Externally functionality

01-29-2008 5:03 PM |

Hi everyone,

I `m sort of using Expression Blend for getting to know XAML, Silverlight etc.

and i was wondering if there is a setting where i can set which program Blend uses when I choose "Edit Externally".

By default it uses notepad,which I don`t want to use, and well I don`t want to use "Edit in Visual Studio" option.

Thank you all.

I don't think you can tell Blend, but if you set the default edit behavior for .xaml files to your favorite editor it should work.

Hi,

first of all thank you on your reply, but if i set certain type of files to be opened

with the editor i want instead of notepad, by right-click on that file->open with...->Choose program->"my editor" and i set "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file..."

and then go to blend and select "Edit externally" the file is still opened in notepad, so I guess you can`t set editor you would like to use when using this functionality in blend.
