Are there any tools or methods I can use to pull down .aspx pages from SharePoint into Visual Studio?
I'm developing a SharePoint site on a development environment, for use in several other locations. All of the content I create needs to be created programatically so I can quickly deploy and test on multiple locations.
I'm most familiar with SharePoint development using the site and SharePoint Designer. I would like to be able to pull pages down that I've developed on the site, so I can then deploy those pages to other locations and make modifications in visual studio.
What I'm trying to avoid is creating features to custom-build every page on my site. I'd much rather design pages the way I'm used to and then deploy them.
I understand that SharePoint 2010 uses ghosting and stores content in the database, so this may not be an easy task.
