Tip#97: Did you know… How to Display Hidden Information in Design View
The design view in Visual Studio can display glyphs and borders for the hidden non - graphic elements (such as div, span, form, and script elements). This feature helps you to see where the elements are and avoid inadvertently deleting the non-graphic elements from your page while editing.
To enable it in designer click on View -> Formatting Marks -> Show
Now you will start seeing the hidden elements on the designer surface.
Hope this helps,

I have selected this option, but there is no change in the design view. I cannot see the form tags or DIV tags as yellow boxes on the design view after selecting this option. Do I need to select any other option?Anonymous
