[thelist] DW2004 templates breaking asp.net page directives

[Davin Granroth]

On a current project I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 (v 7.0.1) set up 
with a test-server model for ASP.NET with C#. The site has lots of 
static .html files, and we're using DW templates to manage these, along 
with some Library Items.

We also have four actual .aspx pages that we'd like to also manage with 
templates, but whenever I update the site from a template, the page 
directive on the first line of the .aspx pages gets replaced with the 
default one that appears on line 1 in the template file (named like 
filename.dwt.aspx).

This should not be happening because the ASP.NET page directive is 
outside of the html and precedes Dreamweaver's InstanceBegin tag. And, 
the BeginInstance attribute codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked is set to false. DW 
templates should treat any code before or after the html element as 
though it were in an editable region.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Has anyone been through this before 
that can share some advice?

For now, because there are only four .aspx pages, we're just removing 
them from the template system and managing them individually. This 
isn't a big deal right now, but over time the number of .aspx pages 
will increase and it will become more of an issue.

Thanks in advance.
