If VS (rather than the webserver) is doing the compilation, then are
you using the Web Application project type?

Ah, that's useful when you're doing a sort of multi-layered
CodeBehind.. I'll need to make sure that MD checks for members in base
classes when adding CodeBehind members (and CodeFileBaseClass).

I'm still not quite sure what you mean my the temporary partial class.
When the web server generates them, they're temporary. The VS2005 "Web
Site" model simulates them for code completion. The VS2005 "Web
Application" model keeps them around. Or am I wrong? (I don't use
VS...)

Well, if it works, give it a go. I'd recommend trying the ASP.NET
AddIn (MD would need to be built with --enable-aspnet), though it's
not quite complete.
