turn off autoformat

[Eirik Eldorsen]

Is it possible to completely turn off autoformat in visual studio 2003? In
the options, I've unchecked autoformat when save and autoformat on switch
between design/html. But that does not stop Visual Studio from reformatting
my page when I drag and drop web form elements.

Yeah, thats what I'm doing too now, and it sucks. I'm really looking forward
to VS 2005!

I have not been able to find a way to do this in VS.NET 2002 or 2003. The
good news is that in VS.NET 2005 (out in about 6 - 10 months) it doesn't
change your code AT ALL!

A work around I use now. I usually just don't use design view. However, if I need to I copy the html to a new instance of handy NotePad. Then I make
the changes in design view and switch back to HTML view. I find the new
parts and copy / paste them into the NotePad backup. Then copy all of
NotePad and paste it back into VS.NET. I know this method stinks, but it
works.

It really sucks.
I would rather code the layout with EditPlus.
