How do I turn on the visual grid in the web (asp) design environment. I know
this is stupid but it's counterintuitive to me.

mr.peanut,

In Net there are different Web design environments. However, normally
webpages have AFAIK no grid, in version 2003 (I don't have it at hand at the
moment) there existed a fixed format page, which could be seen as a grid.

Hi Cor,

I'm using VS 2005 and I am writing creating webpages with asp.net using
VB.NET as my language. It seems a shame if there's no grid. It's quite a task
to align elements without one.

I have always used this group for questions about VB windows applications.
Is it also the best for these asp questions?

Hi,

There are grids, even more like that, in 2003 its name is as well Datagrid,
in 2005/2008 the name is GridView, however the DataList has as well a kind
of datagrid behaviour.

Beside this group, I would send crossposted (one message to 2 newsgroups in
one moment) to the newsgroup microsoft.public.framework.adonet when it is
not a real VB question.

No, he meant the grid like in VB6 / VB.NET in the developer to align things.

By the way, Absolute positioning (Like on a grid) on web pages is a big
no no. What happens if you do it and then i come along and view it in a
stupidly big resolution (1600x***) or stupidly small (640x480).

:)

Yes, that's right. Just want things to look tidy.

Tom,

That answer I gave as first, but then probably his reply confused me.
