Impossible Question

I posted this question on 6-10-2005   -and-   I have had 253 Views   -but-   No Answers
Does anyone from Microsoft monitor this area
Is there not an answer for this issue

Using Visual Studio 2002 - when I am looking at the HTML of an aspx page - - - I see that some of the lines have multiple elements on them, -so- I put in carriage returns at the proper points and it all looks good...  I switch to the Designer View and when I go back to the HTML View the elements are back where they were before I corrected them...
I know that there is some way I can tell the IDE to not re-format my changes (I like to see each element on an individual line - for now)
Can anyone please tell me exactly what / where the magic switch is that will prevent this automatic re-formatting...
Thanks,
Paul

    I think that you can't do this...
    Visual Studio 2002 (2003 also) rebuild the HTML source every time you switch from Designer View to HTML View.
    Only Visual Studio 2005 "knows" where you have modified HTML in Designer View and avoid to rebuild all HTML source...

    Exactly, also VS2002/3 rebuilds the "form generated code" in the code-behind files after you switch, so if things start getting messy there you can delete the region, switch views and get it "organized" again....
