Anyone knows a good beautifyer for VS2005 / ASP.NET markup?

Question

I'm looking for one those to help me in my fight against Visual Studio's propension to bollock up markup code in ASP.NET pages (especially when coming back from design view.)

I might be old-fashioned, but I like be able to tell at a glance which element nests in which.

Or, alternately, is there an option to turn that feature (markup formatting) on and off in VS2005?

Regards

Answer 1

You can customize it pretty heavily in Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML. Then do a Format Document (Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D) to have it align to your settings.

Is there an option missing in the settings that you need?

Answer 2

I would also suggest avoiding the Design view like the plague. I have had it not only mess up formatting, but mess up code as well. Just make sure you have setup your options the way you want them and reformat the file if it gets out of sync.
