Hi, I have a related question . Is there any way to stop VS 2008 designer from auto generating the Styles for each html element/control ? Currently , when i apply some style for one of the controls, vs2008 creates style1, style2 .... I want to stop that , or if there is a way to let Vs ask me about the name of the css class before creating an auto name for it ? Thanks.Anonymous
