Hi Bret,

Thank you for posting in the community!

Based on my understanding, you feel un-comfortable about the Visual
Studio.Net IDE. And you want to find a place to talk about it.

====================================================
I think you may paste your problem in the group below, it is used to
discuss the IDE related issue, you may get more help there. Also, my
colleague will help you there.
microsoft.public.vsnet.ide

Anyway, for your compliant, I will try my best to help you one by one here.

In your "First" compliant, I can not understand why "You can't select
anything", can you provide us a reproduce steps?

For your "Also, it would *REALLY* be nice if when switching from design
view to HTML the selected item was highlighted in the HTML code.", I can
reproduce it. I think it is the default behavior of Html designer in
VS.net. If you feel it not very nice, please feel free to feedback to
Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
or mail to: mswish@microsoft.com

For your "error output" issue, I can not reproduce it, so I can not confirm
it as a bug for you, you may provide your further detailed information for
it.

For the third one, the Visual Studio.Net html designer really may format
your code, but it will not change your html logic, it just use another way
of html syntax for it.

Some where of the code designer, such as InitializeComponent method also
may change your modify in it, because it is not intended for you to modify.
There is comment in the code designer to note your for this:
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>

==================================================
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be
of assistance.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
