Visual Studio Code save language mode (override default)

Question

I have some ASP files in a folder. I would like to view some of them using the default ASP language mode, others I prefer to view in HTML.

If I switch a file to use HTML, it doesn't remember that setting next time I open VS Code.

Is it possible to save this setting per file?

Thanks in advance.

What you are looking for is the "files.associations" setting. You can specify this setting for each file or also for complete directories:

"files.associations": {
    "**/somefolder/*.asp": "html", // add complete folder
    "**/myfileName.asp": "html" // add a specific file 
}
