Hi all
When I copy and paste a piece of code from a web page into IDE ,,it is well
formatted and instead of "<" or ">" characters "&alt" shows up.why is that ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Ray,

Before you paste into your IDE paste the code into Notepad first. Then
copy it from Notepad to the IDE and all will work fine.

The reason this happens is some programs interpret the chars
differently; I think.

thanks for your reply,it is exactly what I do,,but I just wondering if there
is another way to get around it?
 
Excellent!!!

I must paste it as HTML,,,thanks for your help guys.
 
Ray,

If you are using VS.NET 2002/2003 under the edit menu there is the
option to 'Paste as HTML'. It will only show up when you are in HTML
view of an aspx/htm/html/etc. file.

Happy Coding,
