Visual Studio 2005 : Is there an easy way to indent correctly in an ASPX file?

Question

In Visual Studio 2005, is there a way to indent correctly the tags in the aspx file (not in .cs files but really in ASPX files which contain HTML/ASP code)?

Solution 1

You can fix indenting using the shortcut Ctrl-K+D

Solution 2

Those keystrokes translate to:

• Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D : Edit/Advanced/Format Document
• Ctrl-A, Ctrl-K, Ctrl-F : Edit/Select All, Edit/Advanced/Format Selection

For some reason, the latter seems to work better for me.

Note, these also work for other file types: C#, VB, XML etc...

Solution 3

Ctrl-A (select all), Ctrl-K-F has worked for me.

And it works in 2008 as well. You are my hero for at least the next 5 minutes.
