Hello,

I have html pages as part of my ASP.NET application, which I need to edit
them sometimes. Can I do this inside my MSVC or should I buy a special tool?
I know that I can edit them as text file, but I like to see them in a WYSWYG
style so editing them become easier.



Best regards
 
You can edit HTML pages in VS. There is an HTML group in the toolbox that
you can use to drag controls on the form and do some WYSIWYG design. It is
not the best tool for this, however. I would try it first and see if it
works for you, but I think you would be better with another tool.

Options:

Expression Web comes to mind, as it is very compatible with other MS
products. I happen to like it, although there are some quirks, especially
from people coming from FrontPage. Since you appear to be new at this, it
should not be a problem. you can download a trial from MS at
http://expression.microsoft.com and make sure it is right for you.

Another good option is Dreamweaver from Adobe (formerly Macromedia
Dreamweaver). It is not the best ASP.NET tool, but if you are designing
HTML, it should be more than adequate for you.
