"Sticky" items from toolbox
-
Hello I am new to ms vs, .net and asp.net, so sorry if I am asking about something that was already cleared out, but I don't rly know how to name my problem, so I can't search for it. At the moment I am working on web applications using visual studio 2008 pro and I am coding in c#. When I move any item from toolbox on my design, it is always "sticky" to html code I wrote already (table) or just to line. I thought it is normal, but then I saw some tutorial video where someone using web developer 2005 express beta was moving his items, tables etc all around the screen, and he could put them when he wanted, no mater there was something in this place or no (like you can on windows form or wpf app). So, all in all is it possible to work that way on web app using vs2008pro? Thanks in advice and regards

Maybe it is a question of the default for absolute vs. relative positioning. In design view, you can change this for a control under Layout>Position. You can also change the default under Tools>Options>HTML Designer> (Make sure Show All Settings is checked)

I guess thats what I am looking for, but still, I have no such option in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008pro (or I can't find it). I don't have "layout" menu at all, and I can't see position anywhere else. it looks like this: http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=przechwytywanie2kl8.jpg[^] About tools>options>html designer, I found option about absolute position, but it haven't changed anything http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/8900/przechwytywanieph0.jpg[^] Thank you for trying to help. If you have any more ideas I would be grateful :) Regards

Sorry, I didn't catch that you are using 2008; I'm not - but it may be that you can add the Layout menu: tools>customize... Still, I don't think this will help you, because that affects only one control at a time. Under the html designer, if you set it to relative, it doesn't let you drag the controls around and drop them where you want?
