How can I open a resx file in Visual Studio XML editor by default?

Question

I want the 'View Code' view by default (xml editor), so that I can use features in R# File Structure window.

Solution

1. Right Click on Resources File
2. Choose Open With
3. Select XML (Text) Editor or XML (Text) Editor with Encoding
4. On the right side of the dialog, click Set as Default

What's the difference between "XML (Text) Editor" and "XML (Text) Editor with Encoding" ?

@JohanBoule The "with encoding" one always specifically asks the encoding. The other one just autodetects it. Given the fact xml should always start with a text encoding declaration, the "with encoding" one is actually prety useless unless you're specifically dealing with noncompliant xml files that lack it.
