How do you stop VS.NET IDE from reformatting HTML?

Hi,

This is super annoying FrontPage like behavior. Does
anybody know how I can stop the Visual Studio.NET IDE from
reformatting my HTML?

Thank You

You can *reduce* the amount of reformatting:

Tool > Options > Text Editor > HTML/XML > Format then uncheck the boxes in
the upper area.

The only way to *stop* from reformatting is to not use the editor.

Make sure MS knows how you feel by sending a request regarding the next
versions of VS.NET:

ms****@microsof t.com?subject=V S.NET

Hmm, Maybe it did that cause I was in the HTML View,
anyway I closed the form and reopened it to get it back
from my last save.
Thanks again and I will be emailing them.

After following Microsofts admonition to reformat my system before doing a final compilation of my app I got many warnings/errors upon compiling an rtf file created in word.

Prior to the reformatting, I copied the help.rtf file onto a CD and checked the box to...

Hello All, I am developing a page which has a complex layout. This layout cannot be made using VS alone, so I have to go into the html view and edit the html myself. The problem is that everytime I save the file, (or add/remove any component to the page) VS.Net reformats and re-edits the whole page. I find this very irrating because VS.Net totally disorganizes my code.

It has been a while since I have had to use VS2003 to create asp.net apps. I had forgotten what a terrible HTML editor it is. I have turned off all reformating but cannot get it to stop changing things like the accept attribute for a INPUT type=file. Every time I make a change it take the double quotes away and I have to recompile. Is there any way other than using notepad to make changes to actually use VS? It also does not respect...
