Does anybody know a way to prevent VS from rewriting my HTML code when I
switch from design view to code view. When will Microsoft realize that
we are developers, not kindergardners? I usally never use design view,
but sometimes accidentally hit the design view tab, then all the work I
did on formatting the source code becomes an unreadable mess! Thanks for
listening to me vent and any answers on this will certainly be
appreciated!

None that I'm aware of.

Never. Microsoft doesn't learn from their past. Never have, and probably never
will.

*Supposedly* Microsoft will get this right in their *third* release of the
product: Whidbey, scheduled for release sometime late this year, or the next,
or the following, or sometime thereafter.

I'm finding that I often agree with your posts ;-)

MS would need competition to change their ways; real, decent competition.
 
Why so cynical, Why!!! Have faith!! Give those young idealist MS people
a chance. They only want what is best for us all, a coding utopia. A
place where the development environment does not crash. A place where it
actually "does what it says on the tin". They have my complete faith. I
will always believe that the 'next big thing' will reduce our need to
purchase ever more powerful computers with ever more memory. Instead the
future shall result in more efficient software. Soon we will have a use
for all those 386's some of us are too attached to to throw away.
Efficiency will actually mean what it implies. A word processor that
doesn't need a super computer to run. Applications that actually possess
loadable modules so you only run what you need.
So give Our Beloved Microsoft a chance. Remember : Innovation is the
keyword!!

Tut! tut!! tut!!! Why the cynicism.

Sure, they do... so long as you're using their coding products.
 
Have you tried the Options -> Text Editor -> HTML/XML -> Format and uncheck
all of the automatic formatting? This may work for your needs.
