[thelist] DW2004 templates breaking asp.net page directives

[Sam Carter]

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).

I assume that the Template page Boolean codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false".
Unfortunately, it fails for .NET pages and replaces the first line as you
pointed out.  

There is an easy workaround for this bug by placing at least 1 blank line
after the first .NET directive and before the DOCTYPE (or first line of
HTML).  This can be added in the template, but you can add it after the fact
to the individual .NET pages.

I use a little more than that....
