Vs 2005 Change
-
Curious as to if anybody knows how, or why this is, in VS 2003 visual design was easy, it had a grid you could drag a control to any location. It seems that my vs 2005 i am unable to do this, and I'm just wondering why, everything is setup as if i'm typing a document, and if i drag a control, and want it on the right side of the page, i must space or use a place holder or something. Thanks to anybody knows how to fix this little problem. Thanks Gerry

I think you may be referring to the 1.1
pageLayoutproperty of the document, yes? It could be set to eitherflowLayoutorgridLayoutin version 1.1. In 2.0 you would use the Layout menu -> Position -> Auto Position Options... In the Options dialog, the category "CSS Positioning" under "HTML Designer" will be expanded. Check the box "Change position to the following..." box under Positioning Options, and choose "Absolutely positioned" from the drop down menu. This will let you use the designer similarly to the 1.1gridLayoutmode. -
