Question

I have never really found the design view in Visual Studio useful when developing aspx pages, and so I basically never use it.

Am I missing something or is it just one of those features that isn’t particularly useful? Do you use the design view? If so, how do you find it useful? If not, why not?

Answer 1

Is the design view for aspx pages in Visual Studio useful?

It surely is, if you fit one of these profiles

• You don’t know HTML or CSS
• You don’t care if your HTML is readable or valid
• You don’t care if your site renders properly in anything other than IE
• You are being forced at gunpoint into building a webpage when you have no interest whatsoever in such things.
• You have given up on life
