Pass aspx pages to designer

Ideally I would be able to give my aspx/ascx pages to a
designer which makes them nice and since I'm, using code-
behind he will not destroy my code.
But unfortunately he says that this format (aspx) is not
recognized by FrontPage - is there another tool that
designers like and allows to work directly on aspx
pages ?

Hi Carlo Marchesoni,
Welcome to Microsoft Newsgroup Service. Based on your problem description,
you are looking for a IDE(except VS.NET) for developing ASP.NET web pages.
As for "Font Page", it is just for desiging static HTML pages, if you want
to design ASP.NET web page and don't want to use VS.NET, I may try the
"ASP.NET WEB METRIX" tool, its a free software which also provides
very good support for desiging the ASP.NET web application and could be
integried with IIS. You can get it at :
http://www.asp.net

Please have a look.
BTW,since the VS.NET will provide more strong functions and assistants on
designing ASP.NET web application, I recommend that you still use VS.NET
firstly. :-)

Thank you for your reply.
Of course I go on using VS.NET. The problem is that I
have to give the aspx/ascx pages to an external designer
and this guys don't want to bother with IDE's, they use
more design-specific tools like Dreamweaver, Frontpage
etc.
I'm sure there is more poeple out there that have the
same problem, how do they solve this ?

In most cases, you can have the designer work in FrontPage or DreamWeaver.
When they are finished, it is your job to change the regular HTML controls
into ASP.NET server controls and hook up the data. It isn't very hard to
relate the HTML to its corresponding server-side control.

Hi Carlo Marcheson,

Thank you for the response. As for the problem you met with, I think Ken
Cox's suggestion is quite correct. As you mentioned, many web UI desinger
prefer some professinal UI deisigners such as Dreamweaver( I also like it
verymuch:)) , Frontpage, ........ They don't mention what is servercontrol
or other serverside features , they can generate the good UI using the
satic HTML elements. Then, the the rest task is for the programmer to
change some of the html elemets(html controls) to webserver controls and
add the serveside features(such as serverside event or data member
bindings....). So I think it's better that the UI designers don't care for
the programming details, just design the page as they used to like. And
after the paging designing complete, let the programer to add code logics
in IDEs. Of course, there must have some converting works on the static
html element to the serverside webcontrols. Maybe it is somewhat
uncomfotable, but that make the designing and the programming logic
separated from eachother, and it a good design pattern in web designing, do
you think so ?

If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Merry Christmas!

Hi, I'm trying to do something very simple...or at least it should be. I have created a host page (gen.aspx) and a very simple user control (us.ascx). The corresponding code-behind files are gen.aspx.vb and uc.ascx.vb. With simple html or self contained vb in the user control, everything is fine and dandy. So the next stage is to pass back a simple variable from the user control to the host page. I used VS.NEt to create the files.

I have existing aspx pages that I'm editing in VS 2005 that I add a server control to - like a label. I include the runat="server" and it doesn't seem to create the reference in the code behind for it. Is there any way to have it automatically generate the code behind? Also - when I look in the .aspx.designer.cs file, there are lots of references to things that were there but have been deleted. Any thoughts?
