Visual Studio & ASP.NET!

[Adam Knight]

Hi all,

I have just adopted using Visual Studio to do my ASP.NET development.
I have a couple of teething problems though.

Is there anyway i can stop VS messing my code formatting up?

Is their anyway I can display .vb files in the solution explorer?
At the moment they don't appear, though i can edit them by clicking on a web
form.

There is no way to get VS.NET 2003 to stop rewriting your code (supposedly
VS.NET 2005 will have this all fixed). For some insight on why 2003 scews
things up, check out this link:

Now, most people I know who like to have clean HTML user Dreamweaver or
FrontPage or Notepad (or whatever HTML editor) to to do all HTML work (i.e.,
aspx and ascx file editing), and user VS.NET 2003 for all code-behind work
and for launching test sessions. I keep both opened and switch between the
two as needed.

At the top of the solution explorer is a "show all files" button.
The current state is remembered per-project.

Ha ha

or FrontPage
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!

Front Page!! For HTML? You have to be kidding. DW produces tag soup, but
at least it's moderately reasonable and fairly close to W3C standards
(not very though), but FP produces junk. I don't know if the latest
version is any better, but all the versions I have tried produced
spaghetti HTML that was 100% invalid and only worked in IE.
or Notepad

At least know we are talking about an editor that doesn't force you into
producing junk!! I can't stand it myself and use a superior text editor,
but at least this is a sensible option.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist that.
