Double-clicking Visual Studio solution files in Windows 7

I guess I am not the only one annoyed by the fact that I could not open Visual Studio by double-clicking a solution file. Finally I looked into this problem and first found a simple, but not satisfying solution:

Optional parameters in C# 4.0

A while back I blogged about the great features of the Dynamic Language Runtime introduced in .Net 4.0. Today I will look into another great feature introduced in C# 4.0, namely the new  named and optional parameters.

If you are familiar with C++, you have probably used optional parameters earlier, but C# has missed this feature until now. As a work around we had to use overloaded methods, but in the concept of clean code, I'd rather prefer to use optional parameters!
