Here’s a New Feature Request in Visual Web Developer Express 2008
I made the “professional” switch over to ASP.NET development awhile back and began using Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) for all my business clients with the day job. I’ve still kept Dreamweaver 8 installed though because I have a few clients that still use it so it’s nice to be able to open and view exactly what they’ve done in the default editor as well.
There are a number of things I still really like about Dreamweaver that I wish VWDE would incorporate into their product.
One is built in FTP support, but the other is some of the controls that are available when you right-click on a tag in the tag bar along the bottom of your page.
For example here’s the feature as it appears in Visual Web Developer Express 2008
As you can see, the only options when you right-click on a tag is to select it or the content within it. Helpful, but not AS helpful as Dreamweaver is with the same option in the same space.
With Dreamweaver, I can remove the tag completely, which is very handy for cleaning up stray styles and formatting you don’t want in the code anymore. But the other options are also valuable as well like:
- Quick tag editing
- assign a CSS class to a tag
- setting the tag’s ID
- or managing the code by collapsing unneeded items
If anyone from the VWDE team is reading this. Hopefully you’ll add it to your list of upcoming features along with the FTP support.
