This isn't restricted to Visual Studio only. I had the problem with
my TeX environment, where one can click in the preview window to go
to the respective part of the source text (to be opened with nedit, then).
Similar problem there.
Perhaps you can solve your problem by adapting the macro to do a
case insensitive search over all file names currently open before
opening the file in question.
