Converting from v1.1 to v2 and problems with switching design mode

[Robin9876]

When converting an Asp.Net (VB) from version 1.1 to 2 the project
wizard converted the project and the code can be compiled without any
errors.

However when opening the web page and trying to switch to design mode
there are a number of error messages appearing. Such as can not nest
TD within a Table, non matching tags, nesting tables within a form and
some properties no longer available.

What is the best method of converting the web pages so that there
design is available in VS 2005?

The wizard should not trash your HTML if the original code fully
conformed to the HTML 4.0 standard.

You should still be able to view/edit the code in the HTML view.
Check for HTML that was handwritten that may break HTML coding rules.
From the messages you describe, it sounds like some of the HTML tags
were not closed off properly in the original code:

ie <TR><TD></TR> was used instead of <TR><TD/></TR>
