Using Visual Studio to Edit Web Pages
I am currently involved in a project that requires me to edit a lot of Web pages. I haven't really used Microsoft Visual Studio to edit Web pages - I've generally used Microsoft FrontPage for that. So I thought I'd give Visual Studio 2005 a try. Before I started, I turned to our documentation to get a quick orientation. Here are a few of the Help topics that I used:
Getting Started — HTML Editing in Visual Studio. This topic provides links to various HTML editing topics, such as how to do CSS editing
Walkthrough: Basic HTML Editing in Visual Web Developer. I learned in this topic more about how to navigate between elements and use the Document Outline window.
Web Page Designer Keyboard Shortcuts. I learned that CTRL+SHIFT+W displays my Web page in my default browser. You can of course also simply right-click the page and click the menu command to show the page in the default browser, but I prefer to use the keyboard when I can.
I hope you find these resources useful if you haven't yet used Visual Studio to work with Web pages and are thinking of giving it a try. So far, I'm enjoying using Visual Studio to edit Web pages.
