Troubleshoot CS Files


Typical CS Opening Challenges

Notepad++ is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your CS file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open CS Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Notepad++ isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you don't have Notepad++ installed, and you know of another program to open your CS file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Wrong Version of Notepad++ is Installed

It is possible that your version of Notepad++ isn't able to open your C# Source Code File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Notepad++ if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your C# Source Code File file was created by a different (newer) version of Notepad++ than what's installed.


Tip: Investigate your CS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of CS file opening issues are due to not having the correct Notepad++ version installed.
