Hello, I am using VS 2010 Pro and I need to edit an old website that was originally developed in FrontPage. I don't have access to a copy of FrontPage and even if I did, would rather not use it for obvious reasons. I'm also not very familiar with FrontPage.
I'm not looking to anything particular sophisticated, just editing html files. However, I would to use a tool rather than edit the html where possible simply for convenience. For example, within VS I can toggle between Design and Source and within Design I
can select a table row, highlight it and delete it rather than locating and deleting the corresponding html tag. I prefer this to the much more basic (and time consuming) editing with notepad, etc. So far so good.
However, I have a problem: when I change a file and save, the content of files are still the original html. This is even the case if I switch over to Source view, the original table row that I deleted will still be there. I checked the files and their read only property is set to false. One thing that I noticed when opening the html file within VS, is that I get the following pop up message: "The contents of a FrontPage component have been modified. These contents will be overwritten when you save the page." So I'm wondering if VS is detecting something left behind by FrontPage that is somehow interfering with VS.
So my question: Is there a file I can delete or tweak or some setting that I within VS that I can configure that will allow me to go about my business?
