ASP Table webcontrol and the IDE Designer

[Wade]

Hi all,

Has anyone else noticed, in VS.NET 2002 and 2003, that if you create ASP.NET
tables and add webcontrols to them you cannot select the webcontrol when
you're in design mode? However, it will work if you use standard
htmlcontrol tables.

What gives? Is this resolved in VS.NET 2005? Is there an option or setting
to change this?

Thanks,

Wade

VS.NET 2005 is improved in this regard. While direct selection can still be
a little finicky at times, there is a dropdown list that lets you directly
choose any element in the tree.
