Thanks for your reply Gary,

From your further descrption, I think the problem does be somewhat related
to the page's html and source combination. For the html table UPPERCASE
formatting, I've tested via creating a new page in VS2008 and that doesn't
repro the same behavior which indicate the problem be hard to exactly repro
with different project or page set.

VS 64 bit won't matter much here since VS 2008 itself doesn't provide
different versions for 64 bit, it is the .net framework version it will
choose(32 bit or 64 bit) depened on the target platform version.

As you said that you want to hold on VS 2008 and keep using VS 2005, here
are my opinions:

** you can have both vs 2005 and vs 2008 installed side by side on the same
machine if you need both of them

** so far for .NET 3.5, only VS 2008 offically support developing on it, VS
2005 can only handle .NET 2.0 and 3.0(only via extension)
