Just copy-paste whatever line exists in the web.config for aspx extension and change it to refer to your new extension.

web.config is where you add new file associations for the ASP.NET runtime. Basically what I described above after step 3.

I have a new extension working for WebForms, but I would like to have Solution Explorer recognize my new extension as a WebForm. How is this done? (What I mean is that I want the context menu for a WebForm on files with my new extension, and I want the code behind file grouped under the html file like aspx files).

Thanks!

In order to get the icon association you need to register file extension in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Look at how .aspx is registered: it points OpenWithProgid to VisualStudio.aspx.8.0, which key is under the same root and contains point to the icon (as a dll name and # of icon in the dll resources.
