Most of the steps in this Try It Out are self-explanatory. You started off by opening a few windows that
you frequently need when building websites. You then used the drag-and-drop features of the IDE to
rearrange the window layout according to your personal preferences.
You then added an HTML fragment to a custom tab in the Toolbox. When you drag any markup to the
Toolbox, Visual Studio creates a Toolbox item for it that contains the selected markup. Whenever you
need a copy of that markup in your page, simply double-click the item or drag it from the Toolbox into
Markup View. This is a great time saver for HTML fragments that you frequently use. You typically
use this technique for larger blocks of code; for elements like the, Visual Studio has a better tool
called Code Snippets, which you meet later in this book.
At the end you used Visual Studio’s document formatting option to change the layout of the code in the
document. This helps to keep the code organized and easier to read. You can fully change how the code
is formatted by using the Options dialog box accessible through Tools Í Options. Then expand the
path Text Editor Í HTML Í Formatting, and click Tag Specifi c Options.
