We are working on a new web project that is just loose html/css/js files (not an asp site). We want to be able to edit the files in Visual Studio, but not have to have a project/solution file. Ideally, we would have a file system viewer/folder viewer pane instead of the traditional Solution Explorer, and when we opened a file and started to edit it, then it would automatically check the file out.
Is there an extension or something that will give us this functionality easily?
You can work off the Source Control Explorer under View Menu -> Other Window -> Source Control Explorer.
Then double click on the html/css/js file and VS will open it with it’s default editor.
