visual-studio-2008

For our code review process we open the details of a shelveset to see all files that have been worked on. Right clicking and choosing "Compare" works great for existing ( modified ) files. But, when a file has been added I just want to view the file. Double clicking ( or right click -> view ) opens .cs ( and .sql )files in notepad. When I try to open a .PRC file ( extension for our stored procedures ) I get a prompt that allows me to choose what program to use for viewing.

Does anyone know how to get this prompt to show up for .cs files ( and all other files, for that matter )

Thanks!

Configuration: Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer .net 3.5 SP1 Team Foundation Server 2005

Unshelving in TFS: What does it mean?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Here's the part I get: When you shelve in TFS, it makes a server copy of the changes so they are not lost, but does not check them into the source code trunk/branch you are working on. Question: Under what circumstances would you use the "unshelve" feature? Does it mean it will remove the shelveset… >>> More

Since we shifted to TFS we’ve had the ability to perform what is known as ‘shelving’. Shelving (whilst not a wholly new topic in the world of SCC) is new to us, and didn’t exist in our previous SCC solution – SVN. Soo… what is it? What? Shelving is a way to check-in but not check-in your code. By… >>> More
