Designer Support

Visual Studio .NET provides for a rich design time experience in their Designer. When the HtmlBox is dragged on the Designer, a visual representation of the default HtmlBox view is displayed.

There are three ways to manipulate the HtmlBox control:

Code Behind is the standard Microsoft methodology for writing ASP.NET applications. By double clicking on the Designer, the class representing the WebForm will be available for coding.
Advanced users can directly manipulate the tags in the ASPX file by choosing the HTML button at the bottom of the Designer. The HTML tag view with just the default HtmlBox is shown below.
For rapid application development, the HtmlBox can be configured without any code by using the Property Builder, available by choosing the link at the bottom of the Property Window shown below.
Once the Property Builder link is clicked, the Property Builder will launch, as shown below.
