You have run into one of lifes great mysteries. MS thinks they know better
than their users in this case. There are options in the Tool menu but they
don't do as you want. If you watch these newsgroups for a while you will
see the same types of questions. MS people say to wait until next release.
I have heard of people that never go to the design view since switching
changes everything. I learned the hard way after formating the HTML the way
I liked which took an hour and in one second VS destroyed my work.

I'm working on a web app in .NET. How the heck to I set the IDE so it will
(1) leave my whitespace on the Design page alone, and (2) leave my Server
Control formats alone (e.g. it keeps changing <ASP:Checkbox ID="MyCheckbox"
runat="server" Text="Check Me" /> to <asp:Checkbox ID="MyCheckbox"
runat="server" Text="Check Me"></ASP:Checkbox>.....
tia for any ideas/suggestions,
Sue
