ASPX designer always reformats code.
by VHJldm9yIE1vcnJpcw » Fri, 08 Oct 2004 04:15:02 GMT
When I switch from HTML to Design view in my *.aspx pages, if I haven't saved
my changes, the code inside of any asp:DataGrid controls get reformatted.
If I add any controls to a page, the asp:DataGrid also gets reformatted.
Is there a way to avoid this code reformatting? It sure makes the code much
less readable, and causes diffs to go haywire, too.
Thanks,
Trevor

2.Stop VS.Net from reformatting my aspx pages
Hello All,
I am developing a page which has a complex layout. This layout cannot be
made using VS alone, so I have to go into the html view and edit the
html myself.
The problem is that everytime I save the file, (or add/remove any
component to the page) VS.Net reformats and re-edits the whole page.
I find this very irrating because VS.Net totally disorganizes my code.
It removes all the quotes so align='center' becomes align=center
<td>
Hello
<td>
becomes
<td>
Hello</td>
I capitalizes / decapitalizes strings arbitrarily.
sometimes it also adds some extra </tr> to my code making my layout go
haywire.
I want to know if there is someway I can tell it to stop reformatting
and re-editing my code.
regards,
Abhishek.
3.How to avoid reformatting code ?
Hi,
While developing in Vs.Net 2003, when I go to the designer and change
something, even small changes, my HTML code gets horrible reformated.
I'd rather would like to Visual Studio just add/change code surrounding
my changes.
Is there anyway to stop this behavior ?

5.Porting from VS2003 to VS2005: Code reformatting
No reply on my previous query, so I'll post this again. I've done a
bit more research in the interim.
I'm trying to find an easy way to port code from the older VS2003
format to the format used in VS2005. VS2005 uses partial classes to
split off the compiler-generated sections of forms. It keeps the
editable files uncluttered.
I generated very simple projects with VS2003 and with VS2005 to
compare the output. Following are standout differences:
VS2003's Form1.cs gets split into three modules:
Form1.cs (the new one) has only the constructor and event response
functions. Form1 class is declared partial.
Form1.designer.cs also has a partial Form1 class.
This file gets the Dispose() and InitializeComponent()
functions, and all the dialog objects.
For some reason, the 'components' object derives from
'IContainer' in VS2005 rather than 'Containter'
(Anyone know about this?)
The InitializeComponent() function replaces the old
'AutoScaleBaseSize =' to two new lines:
'AutoScaleDimensions = ...' and
'AutoScaleMode = ...'
Program.cs gets the Main() function, now in its own static class.
VS2005's Main() adds a call to EnableVisualStyles()
----------------------
Those appear to be the main differences. I'm not sure if the compiler
flags are changed, but the code changes seem like they could be done
with a reformatting program. Given the vast body of VS2003 code
with big clumsy dialogs, it would make sense to have a reformatter.
So...does it exist?
