back?

No.

That's MS for you. ;o)

To be fair to them, they claim this will all be fixed in the next release.
To be fair to us, this should have been fixed a long time ago.

Hi All,

Is there anyway to prevent/switch off the VS.NET IDE from mangling up my
HTML when I switch between HTML (source) view and Design view and then back?

I have HTML coding standards with regards to indentation that the IDE keeps
wanting to screw up for me.

Thanks!
Corey.

With $40 billion in cash reserves it should have never happened in the
first place.

Another bug to note is the fact that switching from the Designer to HTML
and back will remove runat="server" when used with the <title> element.

Hi Corey,

Just as Darrel replied, the problem that VS.NET will
auto-formatting(sometimes mis-formatting) the html source when switching
between design-view and html-view is a known issue of the VS.NET's current
version. However this issue is already fixed in the VS.NET 2005(Whidbey):
#Preview of Web Development with Visual Studio Whidbey-----Better Source
Code Editing
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/webdevinwhidbey.asp?fram
e=true#webdevinwhidbey_topic1

At this time, we don't have the hotfix for VS.NET 2003 to this issue. But
we do understand the inconvenience it brings to the VS.NET users and
apologize for it.


Thanks for your understanding!
