Dear all

My computer shut down while working on a project and when I opened C# again and recovered it, I got an error saying "There is no editor available for filename.cs Make sure the application for the file type (.cs) is installed" And now I can't access my code at all. I'm using Visual C# 2010 express. I tried opening it directly and it brings up C# but the .cs file opens up in notepad. The file size is 30kb so it didn't get deleted. And there is still a working .exe in the debug folder of the last run. Is there any way to recover the code?

Have you tried to repair your Visual Studio installation? It's probably just gotten corrupted.

As ^Mo^ has suggested, it it likely that you VS installation (or possibly just the registry) is corrupt, and a re-installation or a repair installation should fix it. However, it's worth trying something quick first: run VS without a project, so it comes up with a blank, new page. With any luck, it will tell you that it failed to shut down, and that it can recover. If it does it may re-establish the file associations at the same time. (You could do it manually in Windows Explorer as well)

To fix the problem you need :

1) NotePad++

And you should follow this simple steps :

1) Close Visual Studio .

2) Go to the Backup Folder of your VS version usually in : "C:\Users(your user name)\Documents\Visual Studio (year)\Backup Files\your project or application name" .

3) Open the last Backup file of your corrupted file , usually the name format is : "Recovered-month.-day-year-time.(Your File Name).cs" with NotePad++ , and copy the source code .

4) Go to your corrupted file in the project folder and open it with NotePad++ , Edit => Select All => Past the source code and Save .

5) Go to windows start list and search for : "Visual Studio Tools" folder , open it and double click on : "Developer Command Prompt for VS(year)" .

6) Write this two codes in the Developer Command Prompt : "devenv.exe /setup" and then "devenv /resetskippkgs" .

7) Open your project .

Note : if this didn't work for you try to do the steps before in this arrangement :

1) => 2) => 3) => 4) => 7) => 1) => 5) => 6) => 7)

and your problem will be fixed .

It works 100% for me , i hope this will helps you !!

Thanks !!
