title: How do I prevent Visual Studio from renaming my controls?
body: <p>If I paste something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListExpirationDate" runat="server" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>onto an ASPX file that already has a control with ID <code>DropDownListExpirationDate</code>, it will rename the newly-pasted control as <code>DropDownList1</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd rather it didn't.  I'd rather it just paste exactly what I copied.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to disable this feature?</p>
