If I paste something like
<asp:DropDownList ID='DropDownListExpirationDate' runat='server' />
onto an ASPX file that already has a control with ID DropDownListExpirationDate, it will rename the newly-pasted control as DropDownList1.
<asp:DropDownList ID='DropDownList1' runat='server' />
I’d rather it didn’t. I’d rather it just paste exactly what I copied.
Is there a way to disable this feature?
After a quick check(!)….
Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Miscellaneous
Uncheck ‘Auto ID elements on paste in Source view’.
