Question
Dreamweaver and ASP.NET Master Pages
Hello from a first time poster,
I'm looking to use Dreamweaver to edit .aspx files that use ASP.NET 2.0 master pages. So far, I feel like I'm halfway to getting them to work. But now Dreamweaver itself is getting in the way.
On a hunch, I set up a Testing Server for my site. I selected "ASP.NET C#" as the server model, set the access to "Local/Network" and set the Temporary server folder to the root folder of my organization's internal test site. This works (mostly) with our current .aspx pages, which are ASP.NET C#, but use .NET 1.1.
Our IT department is moving towards .NET 2.0, so we're currently testing Dreamweaver's compatibility. Using the same Testing Server setup (on a 2.0 server), I used the "Live Data View" button to compile an .aspx page that uses a master page. The error the server returned is why I'm posting here.
It appears that Dreamweaver is injecting a comment into the .aspx page to denote that it successfully interacted with the server. However, .NET 2.0 Master pages do not allow any top-level code that is not directly related to the master page template. Thus Dreamweaver's claims of "success" actually cause failure.
Has anyone else encountered this before? Is there any way to prevent DW from inserting that comment?
Thank you for any help you can provide,
