Workaround(s)
I find the preview pane for ASPX files to be extremely annoying and I would like a way to disable or even remove it. I use user controls in my pages and consequently certain ASPX pages do not have <html>, <body> or all the necessary closing tags which causes Visual Studio to display a modal message box alerting me that it can't render a preview. Even when the preview does work it just slows me down because I have to wait for it to finish so I can click the code tab.

Problem Statement
The preview pane in Visual Studio is occasionally more of a hindrance than a help to the user.
Proposed Solution
1) Allow the user to disable the preview pane.
2) Visual studio should detect if the user spends more time in the code or preview panel and default to that upon opening a file.

Vs 2008 now allows you to open any content in Design View.
If you wish to open the Source View by default, you can change this setting in Tools|Options|HTML designer|General.
