Language - ASP.NET, C# Level - Beginner What I want to accomplish - I want to learn ASP.NET MVC by following these online tutorials So, in essence, sam technology, different tutorial. I considered Python/Django, and most probably I will do it someday, but I figured I'd try MVC first. :)

I don't have that problem, check your option settings under editors, and see if line wrapping is checked, and any sort of auto formatting is turned off. I started out using Dreamweaver back in 2003, but now I just use Visual Studio for everything. I don't use the preview very much, I just run F5, and I keep refreshing the page to check how it looks, so I run the VS on the left monitor, and run 2 or 3 browsers on the right monitor and check each browser. Don't use the asp.net objects unless you have to. Just write plain HTML in your favorite flavor. Most of the asp.net objects are useless in my opinion. Take the validator object, doesn't work half the time in a production environment. If your making a form, you can use the Label, and textbox objects. My rule is, unless I need them in code behind, I just use HTML Objects. If I'm writing HTML in pure code behind, I use the asp.net HTML Objects.
