Sapphire: New Web Form designer in Visual Studio Orcas

If you have tried to make your Visual Studio add-in to work with WebForms or HTML pages, you know how difficult it is. So, I have opened a suggestion in the Microsoft Connect website for feedback:
Add extensibility support for WebForms/HTML forms in VS Orcas
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=254426
You can visit it and add your vote to my suggestion. Hopefully we can have a better extensibility for Webforms/HTML pages in VS Orcas. The February CTP will be the starting point to test it.
Nice blog !
Good job, Thanks for the information
