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' />

Is there a way to disable this feature?
