Does the Visual Web pack support Cut/Copy/Paste functionality with components?

In the Visual Designer, Copy/Paste provides a convenient way to create another component with the same property settings as the component that is copied. You may also select several components and Copy/Paste them all at the same time. For "Select All" functioning, one can press Ctrl+A to select all the components on the designer when the designer is in focus. This will select all components, including non-visual components, such as Hidden Fields. Additionally, Cut/Paste provides a convenient way to move components from one page to another page, even to another web application. You may also use Cut/Copy/Paste in the Outline Window.

You can use Copy/Paste to copy a component inside another component such as a Layout component. Nested components can also be Copy/Pasted as a group inside another component or to another page.

Some components add multiple parts to your page, as can be seen in the Outline Window. For example, when you add a Listbox, the Outline Window shows two new parts: listbox1 and listbox1DefaultItems. With Visual Web Pack, there are no longer any special limitations for copying components with multiple parts; this can be done in either the Outline Window or Visual Designer. If you run into any problems after pasting you can always use Undo. As needed, just create a new component using the palette instead of Copy/Paste.

Note: If your component has converters, you should check that their Data Converter field is properly set after pasting, and if needed manually set this field in the Properties Window of the newly copied component.
