Dreamweaver Integration

[Guest]

Is there an easy way to integrate Dreamweaver into VS.. Just a quick way to
move the HTML of a web form into Dreamweaver for a bit to use it's features
and then back into VS... Other than saving and opening in the other tool...
Maybe with a macro? Anyone done this? The VS HTML editor just needs help.

Thanks.

Jerry

I remember thest days; but with Visual Web Developer and VS 2005 HTML
editing is much, much nicer. However, to answer your question, What I
did was add Dreamwever as an external tool in VS.NET and I think I was
able to pass the filename of the page I was currently editing as a
argument parameter. This would open the file in DW when it launched, I
would make my edits then then go back to VS.NET.

Thanks for Tdavisjr's inputs.

Hi Jerry,

As Tdavisjr has mentioned, VS 2005's html designer has much enhanced and
some of the ASP.NET specific UI designing feature (like themes or
Masterpage ) is also cool... In addition, if you do need to use external
html editors to edit the aspx page, we can also launch it through the
following steps:

1. In VS2005's solution explorer, right click a certain aspx page we want
to edit...

2. choose the "Open with...." menu item and there will launch the editor
selection dialog

3. In the dialog , you can add your own favorite editor or set it as
default one....

Hope helps.Thanks,

Steven Cheng
