Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I'm using VS2019 (fully patched) and started a new ASP.Net Core (5.0) app.

I have a html file in a project in my solution (with a Build Action of "None", because it's documentation for the assembly), and the right-click context menu does not contain "View in browser". Can anybody help?

What I have tried:

I looked everywhere I could think of in VS2019, and googled it as well.

Does this help?
How to add the view in browser option back into Visual Studio 2017 context menu? - Stack Overflow[^]

[edit]
I just checked the instructions and they work for VS2019 on my machine (though the option is greyed for my projects).

If you do the above for the code window instead of the projects menu, you can open HTML in the browser from there - I just checked and it worked for me.

Thanks, but I didn't see it in there at all - for anything.

Didn't see it in the Commands setup, or didn't see it in the context menu?

To be honest, I didn't look that hard. I'm a little twisted over having to do it in the first place. Why can't they just leave it alone?

What? :OMG:
You'll be expecting them to fix bugs next ... :laugh:
