MS Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition
-
In the past I've used MS VB and also Oracle Developer, if that matters. I'm a student using MS Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition for the first time. I'm having a problem positioning labels and controls in the Design view. If I drag a label or control out of the ToolBox and drop it in the Design view (I'm using Split view) how can I position this label precisely where I want it? I tried editing the HTML, but that didn't satisfy me. Is there another way to do this in the Design view? :confused:

Your best bet would be to drop it in when in code view. That way you know exactly where it is. I do know what you're saying though - the display of controls in design view can be awful - sometimes not representing what the page will look like at all. I don't think there is any quick fix to this and the 'tinkering and tailoring' of it comes with experience.
