visual studio – lessons learned

Note to self:

If you’ve created a page that is correct from a business logic point-of-view, but may not make Visual Studio‘s visual designer happy, don’t open the file in the visual designer. The visual designer wants to correct your “shoddy” HTML. The visual designer thinks that it knows you. It doesn’t. It wants to kill you, and charm your spouse and children so that they forget that you ever existed. Well, maybe not entirely. Regardless, whatever you do, don’t lose your head and think that you can use your VB or C# code-behind to load up some placeholder controls with your own HTML. That’s kids’ talk – crazy talk. Keep it together, man. Pure and simple – don’t view the page in the visual designer. Code view? Yes. Visual designer? No.

That is all 🙂
