Marty,
I am currently using VS to develop the front-end of my app...you're
right...it sucks. The main problem is auto-formatting (which I suppose
drives this whole WYSIWYG functionality). I swear I will trash my computer
if I have to manually delete another "Z-INDEX" attribute. In some cases,
(especially when using the Internet Explorer TreeView control -no longer
supported by Microsoft btw :-), VS.NET likes to randomly add 3-4 nested
Tables into the html (thereby screwing up the entire look and feel of the
page). In another case I added a dhtml/css-driven menu to a page, and VS
completly "jacked it all up" (as a co-worker put it).
Once you start manually adding tidbits of DHTML/Custom controls, etc. to the
html VS becomes very finicky (leaving you two choices...VS's way, or the
highway). It's embarrasing to have to mention at our weekly meeting that
anytime you modify the TreeView make sure to manually delete the 4 tables
that magically appear and to also change the TreeView width attribute back
to 689px from 644px...the only positive out of it is the job security you
get, being the only one who can work on it ;-)
anyway...good luck if you partake.

I know this topic has been beat to death. However, I was sitting here
trying to figure out what Microsoft Does when they develop an ASP.net
for WYSIWYG functionality. Visual Studio's sucks to be honest. And I
don't believe Microsoft has purchased Dreamweaver to do their designs.
Are any of you using Visual Studio exclusively to develop your ASP.net
apps? If so do you have any web sites that can demonstrate the result. I
am really curious how some of these apps/sites look.
Thanks
