  • CssClass is working as expected for me now (It quad quoted for me in Beta 2 as well).

    I uninstalled everything even tangentially related to VS 2008 and/or .NET 3.5 before installing the RTM. Not sure if that made the difference, but it's an idea.
  • Hi John,

    Thank you for bringing these two issues to our attention. The first issue was unfortunately fixed incorrectly. We are re-activating that bug and will try to address it properly in an upcoming service pack. Likewise, for the second issue we are opening an internal bug and will prioritize to try and fix it in an upcoming service pack as well.

    Thank you again for taking the time to provide us this feedback via MSConnect and helping make the Visual Studio product better. If you find any other issues don't hesitate to report them to us, or email me at omark-at-microsoft-dot-com.

  • Not related to CSS but VS2008: WPF support is just plain bad - the designer quits every now and then and the whole IDE crashed about 5 times within the last 3 hours. Sometimes, I really wish I was a Java developer, happily working on Eclipse under my Ubuntu :-(
  • The quoting-feature of CssClass is still buggy.
    Try this:

    Go to Tools->Options->Text Editor HTML->Format and uncheck "Insert attribute value quotes when formatting"

    The CssClass property still gets quotes.
  • Fredrik, that was fixed in the VS2008 Hotfix. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/02/...
