Consider the feature in Visual Studio 2010 for snippets in the HTML Source view of a web page.

type a control name in plaintext with no markup or brackets!
… e.g. hyperlink.

enter image description here

Then hit Tab

enter image description here

Your web control has been auto-completed for you. It’s up to you to fill in the other details that you need.

This works for form as well: 

 <form action="default.aspx" method="post">
 </form>

This looks like a real time saver. This is supported in WebForms and ASP.NET MVC projects.

What other snippets are available in Visual Studio 2010 in the Source view of a page?

    For the authoritative list of snippets, check out the VS2010 installation folders where the snippets are stored:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Web\Snippets\HTML\1033

    There is one folder for ASP.NET and one for plain HTML snippets.

    Also, if you use jQuery a lot, there is a set of jQuery snippets that you can add to Visual Studio as well.
