AspXer
is a utility used to convert simple HTML forms to Aspx form controls.  Aspx is a file extension recognized by Microsoft's DOT NET framework.

AspXer is beta software written in c sharp for Microsoft ASP.NET.  It takes a simple HTML file (from pasted text or file upload) which contains HTML form controls and converts them to Aspx format. ApsXer is especially useful if you have many form controls that need to be converted.

Sample: the following HTML:

<input type="text" id="field1">

Becomes this in Aspx:

<asp:TextBox id="field1" runat= "server"></asp:TextBox>

In addtion to converting html to aspx, the program will also let you run an XML validator against your file or the converted aspx.

Options
Options for AspXer include the ability to control which types of HTML form controls to convert, and if they should have the attribute runat=server or not.  Even if you have existing HTML that has the runat=server attribute, AspXer can remove it when you  uncheck the appropriate box in the program.  Typically, you can run HTML controls at the server simply by having the runat attribute set to server.  If you want an HTML control to run at the server but not be transformed into an Aspx control, simply uncheck the appropriate box, and AspXer will insert the runat attribute into your HTML for you.

At this time, AspXer only supports these options on a global basis.  That is, you can't individually select which HTML objects to convert or change.
