Is there anyone out there who uses Grid layout? I have never seen it used, and I really have no idea why it is the default.
I know that designers don't like this Grid mode, it just helps them argue against using VS.Net
I don't want to dig for this in the future, so I am reposting this link that Marcie just posted:
Change WebForm's pageLayout to Flow forever
Quick summary: Find the DefaultWebProject.csproj and add the attribute DefaultHTMLPageLayout = "Flow" to the <Settings>element.
There are other attributes you can set here: DefaultTargetSchema and DefaultClientScript affect the meta tags.
You can set most of the stuff you see in the Project Properties, you can look at your csproj files to get more ideas.
