When I am dev a ASP.net application and switch between Design and HTML in
VS, the HTML code's layout is modified by putting Carriage Returns.

For instance I keep each control per line and when switching between views
it scrambles the clean lines into unreadable garbage. I tried changing the
"Word Wrap" checkbox in options, but it didnt do anything to correct the
problem. I have it unchecked, which is the default.

Please help,

This is a pain,

Steve

Hi Steve,

The problem that VS.NET will auto-formatting the html source when switching
between design-view and html-view is a known
issue to the VS.NET 2003 IDE,it is to be fixed in the next version of the
VS.NET 200(Whidbey):
#Preview of Web Development with Visual Studio Whidbey-----Better Source
Code Editing
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/webdevinwhidbey.asp?fram
e=true#webdevinwhidbey_topic1

But for the current version of VS.NET, I am afraid we havn't any resolution
now, we apologize for any inconvenience it brings to you.

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

The issue has nothing to do with word wrap. It has do to with how Design
view works. Unfortunately, VS 2003 does not guarantee preservation of your
formatting. You can find some more information along with some possible
mitigations here
