Backgroundworker object instead of component

[Marcel Overweel]

Hello,

I am using a BackgroundWorker as a base class for several workers in a
windows service application. Because BackgroundWorker is derived from
Component, Visual Studio (2008) shows the message
"To add components to your class, drag them from the ToolBox....."

Is there a way to tell Visual Studio not to show this message and just
show the sourcecode whenever I doubleclick on the cs file of the class?

One thing I can think ok is making a base class not derived from
Component and create a BackgroundWorker inside this class but that
feels a bit awkward.

regards,
Marcel

If you're really desperate you can remove the <subtype>Component</subtype>
definition from the compile settings in the project file.

Then the file will always open in the text editor.

AFAIK there is no way of doing this at the time that the wizard puts the
file in the project.
