This article is intended to give you a practical recipe for creating a simple Web Control and extending Visual Studio with support for the control. The control itself is a basic Country Code drop down list such as you would find on many profile entry pages.

My main issue with VS is that, behind the scenes it likes to add a whole lot of extra things (extra files/folders& FP extensions) to your website which may or may not be necessary.
You can run ASP.Net fine with just aspx/cs files and maybe a "bin" dir for your .net DLLs. Even if you add a config (asax) file or two things are still pretty tight.
Admittedly I prefer a simpler structure because it is easier for me (and my little brain) to keep track of exactly what is going on and troubleshoot. Also I suspect it makes the site more portable.
Having said that I do think the interface & debugging capabilities are excellent.
