Windows App to Web App Layout
-
Hi there, Screen Shot I need some help regarding the screen shot above of my current windows application. What would be the best way to design this layout in ASP.Net? I'm trying to avoid as many tables as possible. When should I use tables and when should I use div tags? Any link or resources on where to find tutorials on converting windows apps to web apps would be greatly appreciated. I tried googling but no luck. Thanks :)

Why, tables are always good to format the page and align the controls in expected positions. I think creating design with tables will be good option. Usually div tag is used to group elements and to format with styles. Browsers will add a line break tag for each div. So creating entire page avoiding tables is not looking good to me.

Well i read that tables slow your app down. Even tho this app will only be used as intranets on networks so should be fine then. I agree that using tables is the easiest way to setup "input/forms". I do use div to setup the main layout tho. Do you know of any resources on where I can find more info regarding writing actual web apps like windows apps not just normal web apps with a contact form. Im looking for help on writing websites which is based on alot of server side work. Thanks for your reply :)
