Question

Where is the Visual Studio HTML Designer  I see that there are options for the HTML Designer but I can t open it    So I just want to ask why I can t find the designer and how do I open it  When I create an HTML file it just goes to the HTML code

Another way of setting the default to the HTML web forms editor is:

At the top menu in Visual Studio go to File > New > File
Select HTML Page
In the lower right corner of the New File dialog on the Open button there is a down arrow
Click it and you should see an option Open With
Select HTML (Web Forms) Editor
Click Set as Default
Press OK

The default HTML editor  for static HTML  doesn t have a design view  To set the default editor to the Web forms editor which does have a design view     Right click any HTML file in the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio and click on Open with Select the HTML  web forms  editor Click on Set as default Click on the OK button   Once you have done that  all you need to do is click on design or split view as shown below

The solution of creating a new HTML file with HTML  Web Forms  Designer worked for that file but not for other  individual HTML files that I wanted to edit    I did find the Open With option in the Open File dialogue and was able to select the HTML  Web Forms  Editor there  Having clicked the  Set as Default  option in that window  VS then remembered to use that editor when I opened other HTML files

Go to  Tools  Options   section  Web Forms Designer  and enable the option  Enable Web Forms Designer   That should give you the Design and Split option again
