Code editor view instead of designer

Question

There's a custom attribute which you can apply to a class which causes Visual Studio to always open it up in code view rather than designer.

I've forgotten what it is yet again, and its a tricky thing to find on Google.

Can someone remind me what it is?

Nothing tricky about it...
Right click the file you want to open, select Open With..., choose your preference, hit Set as Default - you done...

Indeed, but that's not what I want to do. I want the setting in the source code itself.

Don't worry, I've found it - deep in my history of messages in fact.
