GridLayout no longer supported!!??

[Tina]

I see that in VS.Net 2005, grid layout is no longer supported. I really
liked gridlayout because I could put things exactly where I wanted them.

How can we put things exactly where we want them now?

Why was gridlayout eliminated?

Thanks,
T

Hello Tina,

GridLayout is no longer supported in VS 2005. You can accomplish the same
type of absolute positioning using the Layout->Position->Absolute option from
the tool bar when positioning a control. You can turn on default absolute
positioning using Tools|Options|Html Designer|CSS so that everytime you
position a control on the form surface, it is absolutely positioned.

My guess on why Microsoft deprecated the GridLayout attribute is because it
didn't comply with web standards and you can accomplish the same thing using
CSS.
