Not only that, visual studio actually changes valid code into invalid code. For example t'll remove closing LI tags and capitalise all your tags. I know that, having tried to get a css/xhtml site with MCMS, at this stage if you want to make a standards compliant web app C#.NET is way more trouble than it's worth. Myself I quite like ruby on rials, but I'd go with what ever your already comfortable with.
