Automatically convert ASP.NET export to ASP.NET web application project |

Artisteer is a great tool for creating WebSite designs, but unfortunately the ASP.NET export functionality is quite disappointing to me.
<br />
<br />
First of all I never use Web site projects, I use Web application projects instead (see <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd547590.aspx">this article</a> for further details on the difference between the two project types). Furthermore some important features are missing such as the possibility to bind menus to sitemap datasources.
<br />
<br />
In order to save some time when converting and modifying the exported ASP.NET code I wrote a small program that automates this process. If someone else is interested, you can download it from <a href="http://81.20.93.20:8035/APC.zip">here</a>.
<br />
<br />
The program converts the exported ASP.NET project to a Web application project and adds/modifies some coding in order to support sitemaps. You need to have Visual Studio 2010 installed on your PC to be able to run this program. It supports Artisteer 2.6 and Artisteer 3.0.
<br />
<br />
Suggestions and comments are welcome.
