I have both dreamweaver CS5.5 and Visual Studio Ultimate 2010. Both programs I love, but I really want a way to complete all of my front end coding in Dreamweaver, and then work with the database in VS.Net.
I have been completing this by making all of the pages in VS.Net, and then clicking 'open with' Dreamweaver afterwards. Although each time I open the .master file with Dreamweaver it collapses into blank coding, propbably because it doesn't recognise it. I have researched this before,and tried to solve the problem by adding content to the documentType folder but nothing has happened. I really need some support in Dreamweaver because I am alsways changing the design of my pages, and each page uses a materpage file.
The other problem is the masterpage uses .swf files and javascript alot, which is a pain to use in VS.Net, as the code hinting doesn't work properly.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I havent tested it yet, but take a look at this: http://alexle.net/archives/119
- Go to **[Your_Drive_Here]:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration**
Open the file Extensions.txt and add your custom extensions to the list.
...Go to the DocumentTypes folder (still in the same path), edit the file MMDocumentTypes.xml\ (fullpath: [Your_Drive_Here]:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration**DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml**) with a Text Editor (i.e. Notepad or Notepad++). It’s not advisible to edit this particular xml file with Dreamweaver as the software may go crazy as it’s being used to edit itself.
- Go to l*ine 67*, add the THTML extesion to the winfileextension and macfileextensionlist attributes. Here is the code exerpt
This instructions are for Dreamweaver MX 2004, but may work changing Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004 for Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 (I don't have CS5.5, but assuming this had not changed until CS4 (my version), it will be there.
