Visual Studio/.Net/Css

Extra Bloat Code

I have recently moved from dreamwever to vs.net to design my web app.

Certain things are annoying me about VS and is there anyway to remove them.

It adds META TAGS telling the user what software was use to desing the page.

It seems to place endless table/td tags when I had managed to write it using pure css/div layout.

Am I being picky or is VS not good for designing good looking CSS sites?

Also I presume layout should be set to flow for cross browser compatability and should be set to grid if designing and app for a specific browser?

Well, I have it set to flow. I hate it too when designer inserts style tag for every control when you resize it in designer.
In VS.Net 2005 they fixed a lot of those nuisances and flow is a default as I think it should be.

Don't use Design View, use Code View. You'll have none of the problems except the META tag.

I really hate the fact that I have to use VS to code my .NET pages now. I've been coding ASP by hand for several years now, and it irks me to have to use a GUI again.

I suppose if I get fluent enough in .NET coding I won't need the VS any longer, right?

Do you use code-behind?

Yeah, don't use the Design mode. You are not forced to use the drag and drop. Code it by hand if you want total control. It is not hard to select a line that has the meta tag and delete it.

You don't have to use the GUI, you can set your editor to open aspx pages in HTML view instead of Design View. I've had my VS.NET like that for a long time. Design View sucks..

Seconded.

You don't have to use Visual Studio to program in .Net

You can use your favourite text editor and the command line compilers to produce your .dlls

I hate bloated IDEs and WYSIWYG editors. I avoid Visual Studio like the plague.
