Force Visual Studio to put all Styling in CSS Style Sheet

[bubbisthedog]

Is it possible to force Visual Studio to put all styles in an external style sheet? When an input box is resized by dragging, Visual Studio puts a 'style' attribute in there, whereas I'd like to see it apply that style always in an external style sheet. Is this possible?

Thanks.

I don't think that is possible. Are you certain you really want that anyway? What are you trying to achieve?

It's been always a rule for me to not to fully entrust all the resizing of objects on VS IDE.

It's still good to do some manual coding from time to time :)

I can't agree more, I code all my html and css by hand. Maybe there is a plugin out there that does what you want. Have you tried googling it? Maybe something like "Visual Studio CSS plugin".

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies, you all. What I was trying to achieve was separation of presentation from content, while still being able to use the drag-and-drop functionality exclusively. I do all of my XHTML and CSS and JavaScript by hand as well, but was wondering if there was an advantage to using VS. Guess not! :(

Thanks again!
