Can I stop VWD inserting spaces at the beginning of the line?

Hello,

VWD Express seems obsessed with inserting loads of spaces at the start
of each line whenever you drag controls into the source view. I guess
this is MS' idea of making the source code readable by indenting it, but
it annoys me intensely. Apart from anything else, it causes extra line
wrap as the spaces make the line too long to fit in the window.

Can I switch off this, erm "feature"? I haven't found a way yet. Please
put me out of my misery!!

TIA

Tools Menu -> Options -> Show all settings (at the bottom of the page) ->
Text Editor -> HTML

Take a look at the General, Tabs, Format, Miscellaneous and Validation tabs
on the tree view.

Thanks for that. I wondered why there were so few options in there. I
didn't spot the "show all settings" one.

Anyway, under Text Editor -> HTML -> Tabs, I set the "indenting" option
to "none", but it still adds a couple of spaces when I drag a control
into the HTML source. Any idea why? I checked the other options there,
but couldn't see anything else that looked like it affected this.

Any idea? Thanks again

Ok. I am creating a table in an access DB based on a form submission. This works fine. The problem I am having is, if there is a space in the submission. For example.... someone submits "The Island" when the asp script uses SQL to create the DB, it creates it as "The" only. SO I am guessing it stops when there is a space in the name. Is there some way to get around this?? Jeff

I have a list of n inputs of varying type I wish to read from a file: For example: string string int int double double int int int double ...

Hi, I'm working on a little application which analyse source code file from VS.NET. But I'm in front of a big problem.

I tried to change the encoding of my StreamReader but it's always the same...

Have tried a number of things including space(n) in front of the string but when the DropDownList is shown the spaces have apparently been trimmed. Is this something that would have to be done in a custom control? I would like the spaces to be at the front end of the string " xxxxx". In vs.net I am doing a listitem(string) Any Help is appreciated. thanks barry

Tabs versus Spaces in Source Code Xah Lee, 2006-05-13 In coding a computer program, there's often the choices of tabs or spaces for code indentation. There is a large amount of confusion about which is better. It has become what's known as “religious war” — a heated fight over trivia. In this essay, i like to explain what is the situation behind it, and which is proper.

Hello In visual studio when I am debugging my ASP. net code if I hit "stop" the procedure I am in will still finish itself and doesn't stop where I expect it to stop. I remember in VB when you stop your code it stop at the exact line you're on. Now if I stop at the beginning at the procedure or function the code will still continue until the end sub/end function.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
