Is there a good HTML Editor in the Visual Studio 2010 toolbox? Will this work for WPF and Windows Form Projects? If not, can someone suggest a good free or opensource one?
Thanks

I've downloaded VS2015 CTP6 release.
Is there any way to replace VS2015 solution explorer's icons with VS2010 ones? :(
PS: yep, I hate new UI design ideology. My fav is Win7 Crystal style.=)
Solutions from here don't work
Is it possible to change icons in Visual Studio 2012?

You can change the Shortcut icon: https://visualstudioextensions.vlasovstudio.com/2015/12/02/on-changing-visual-studio-2015-icon/
If you want to customize the icon in Solution Explorer, you need to write a VS Extension.
I want to replace my MFC Code with Qt. I found this website http://doc.qt.digia.com/solutions/4/qtwinmigrate/winmigrate-walkthrough.html and they say that it works with VS6.
My question is now if I can use this site as a guideline for the replacement with Visual Studio 2010 to and if anyone has experience with Walkthrough on Visual Studio 6?
Thanks
I know I can manually pin and unpin the Visual Studio Toolbox, but what I would like to do is have it pinned when viewing the designer and automatically hide when I view the code. Is this possible?
Thanks, Jamie
Not as far as I know; I don't think the toolbox can differentiate between code and design views.
It's possible you could write an extension with the Visual Studio SDK that does what you're asking but I don't think it is possible otherwise.
Maybe Perspectives extension can help you. After installing you can save your current layout as perspective (just like in Eclipse) in Visual Studio 2010 and then switch between them.
I'm curious what aspects you use the Expression Web for and what you prefer to do in Visual Studio.
I understand Expression Blend is for making GUI elements of WPF applications, with the programming done in Visual Studio, but how do Expression Web and Visual Studio fit together?
Expression Web is used for the UI design.
Visual Studio is used for programming the underlying model and hooking up to the UI.
They both understand XAML and can share the project/solution structure.
In fact, the were designed to inter-operate in this manner.
I prefers to use Visual Studio for most of my development needs. I briefly used Expression Web but I don't use visual design aids that much so I go back to Visual Studio & Firebug for pretty much all my web developments.
Expression Blend, on the other hand, is the go to tool if you want to do WPF & Silverlight frontend. It speeds up the UI designing process a lot.
Visual Studio is for coding!
Expression is for design!
You can easily use them together.
If you do a change in one of the the other will prompt you
for this change.
If not just refresh.
If you need to open a page through visual studio right click this page.aspx and 'open with' and find and chose expression blend.
When I've started learning Blend with VS 2010, I've used Expression Blend to make the GUI and and VS for coding. After a time I was only using Visual Studio 2010 for everything. My advice to you is to only use Visual Studio 2010 for complete development of your applications.
Im currently working on the GUI for an ASP.NET MVC application using Visual Studio 2005. The visual webpage designer (for the views) is awful.
Any input on what other people use would be most appreciated!
I'd like to advice you to create your markup by hand as everybody else does. Using designers is mostly unprofessional and leads to low quality results.
Visual Studio 2008 was a big step forward over 2005. 2005 was horrible. And Visual Studio 2010 is better yet - the quick snippets can save you a bunch of time once you get used to them.
Having installed and tested several products over the past few days, I have come to the conclusion that Microsoft Expression Studio is probably the best option when it comes to a visual design aid. Its code is clean and compliant, and although fairly basic, it allows you to create your layouts as required.
