I saw this post back when it was a virgin, September of 2003. I even posted a comment when I read it to thank the author for sharing the great tip. But I didn't have the need or the personal fortitude to work it out in my own life so I could open Web Services in code view by default. Until recently. I realized what a pain it was to right-click and select “view code” or double-click, say D'OH!, then right-click on the designer window to select “view code.” Either way you click it, you wanna view code.
I finally did it. I took the long walk and am a born-again attribute smacker for IComponent-based classes. Works great!
