Where is my form's snap to grid?

Hello, I am starting to use ASP.NET in Visual Studio 2005 and can’t figure
out how to get the grid to show up on the form rather than the flow layout.
When I say grid I am talking about the snap to grid that I was able to affix
my controls to in ASP.NET 2003.
Thanks.

Hello
Tools->Options; check 'show all settings' (lower left corner)
Look in windows forms designer...

Hi,

Visual Studio 2005 by default uses flow layout. To change to grid layout as
in Visual Studio 2003, go to Tools/Options/HTML Designer/CSS Positioning,
check "Change positioning to the following..." and select "Absolutely
positioned" option. To snap the control, check "Snap pixel-based positions
and sizes...".

This will make a newly added controls use absolute positioning by default.
To control individual control's positioning option, first select a control
and use the menu Layout/Position to change it.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
