Does Dreamweaver CS3 support the Visual Studio ASP.Net Master Pages?

Does Dreamweaver CS3 support the Visual Studio ASP.Net Master Pages?  Specifically can I utilize Visual studio for creating the code / basic pages & master page template and utilize Dreamweaver for the graphical / html design/editing?

I am currently utilizing Dreamweaver MX 2004 and it does not display these pages properly but would upgrade if this was a feature of CS3.

If you open a content page do you see any of the master page content?  i.e. banner navigation etc.. that is placed on the master page.

No, you only see the content page html
There is a solution to the problem. I don't know if it works with older versions, but it works at least in Dreamweaver CS5:

Open MMDocumentTypes.xml. It sis located under "...Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\DocumentTypes". Add "master" to the document type APS.NET_VB and ASP.NET_CSharp.

<documenttype id="ASP.NET_VB" servermodel="ASP.NET VB" internaltype="Dynamic" winfileextension="aspx,ascx,asmx,master" macfileextension="aspx,ascx" file="Default_vb.aspx" writebyteordermark="true" newdocumentname="WebForm" mimetype="text/html">

<documenttype id="ASP.NET_CSharp" servermodel="ASP.NET C#" internaltype="Dynamic" winfileextension="aspx,ascx,asmx,master" macfileextension="aspx,ascx" file="Default_cs.aspx" writebyteordermark="true" newdocumentname="WebForm" mimetype="text/html">

It works like a charm.
