Since creating a "Website" seems to be dead, and unsupported, but also because my website isn't far enough along to totally rule this out, I want to convert my project over to a WebApplication. Which I think I'm almost done.
Unfortunately I have over 500 errors, all of them being "does not exist in the current context".
This is because I do all my front end in BootstrapStudio, and not in visual studio, so I have regular HTML code.
In my my "Website" project, I was able to reference these regular HTML components, as long as they have "runat="server"" as an attribute, but apparently this is not supported with Web Application.
Main Question:
I really don't want to have to add "asp:" to every HTML component I want to use, every time I import my HTML from BSS, so is there anything I can do, to allow myself to access and edit these regular HTML components?
I suppose I could write a program that automatically add's these to every component with runat="server", but if I remember correctly, there are certain HTML components, that are either not in ASP.net, or partially different, as well as it being a total pain
in the ass to have to do every import, even if it's not as bad as doing it manually.
Edit: I just remembered, asp.net does buttons as "asp:Button," where html is just "input," and an input could be a button, textbox, and other things... So that probably makes it impossible to do automatically.
