How do I make tabbed links in Visual Studio?

[Rob]

Hi,

I am new to this, but starting to get a handle on datagrids, repeaters, etc.
Now I want to start formatting my pages so they look nice. My background is
with database programming, not web design, but I still want to make things
pretty.

Looking at the top of some pages (such as asp.net) page, there is the
ASP.NET logo and all the tabs running across the top and then the Search
box. How is this done? My assumption is that it is done with user controls.
Is that true? I only have a basic understanding of them.

Could someone enlighten me on page formatting and layout in Visual Studio?
Am I better off with Dreamweaver for this?

Thank you.

Rob,

I believe that the tabs you see are just dressed up html, not user
controls.

If you look at the Time Tracker sample app in the starter kits on that
page you will see a tab style at the top of the page for presenting
links. The links are actually in a data repeater so they're dynamic.

I get the impression a lot of people use Dreamweaver or Front Page for
designing their pages.
VS doesn't help you much here.
