My question is: since Visual Studio 2010 was only just released, why does it not render pages in the same way as the latest Microsoft web browser, IE8?

Is there a bunch of render options I should be setting?

I thought Expression Web was supposed to help with its fancy Super Preview but that app doesn't even open VS solutions.

Thanks for any assistance, Luke

Wikipedia states that VS uses trident (IE's render engine) up to VS2005. I can't find what it uses nowadays anywhere, though. It's probably not IE based.

Hmm.. I'm surprised that this question wasn't quashed in minutes of it going up. I'll email Scott Guthrie and find out.

Okay Scott Guthrie says that it uses it's own renderer and that they're looking at ways to allow more live editing with true WYSIWYG.

I think I'll do full HTML mockups in Expression Web and then try and chop over the chunks of HTML into my MVC 2 project and master pages. Maybe its my process of building sites which is suboptimal.
