HTML Designer

The Visual Studio .NET HTML Designer provides editors and tools that make it possible for you to create and modify HTML documents. There are two editing views:

• Design view   You can edit HTML pages graphically, insert elements, use drag-and-drop to position and size them, and see the results instantly.
• HTML view   You can edit HTML markup directly, use pop-up lists to insert elements and properties as you edit, and format and debug code.
