Unfortunately, it is impossible to use the Windows command line to open a file in an *already-running* instance of Visual Studio *at a specific line number*. (VS 2008)

[Open a file in Visual Studio at a specific line number](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/350323/open-a-file-in-visual-studio-at-a-specific-line-number) shows a command-line parameter combination that *fails*, and presents code for an executable that can be called instead at the command line - but this code does not build out-of-the-box in VS 2008.

Does anyone know of a workaround (such as a VS macro) that is able to accomplish this very basic task?
