Hi

I've a quastion. Is a possibility in VS 2005 in ASP to compose
components on form without writing HTML code??

There is a designer, if that is what you mean. Or did you mean
something else?

I mean that you can put e.g. button wherever you want on form. I use
panels now and it is probably the best solution of course I still have
to use tables from HTML. I've just thouht that there is special
component(special panel or something) which allow to do similar things
as in WinForms. But I was probably wrong

HTML doesn't allow you to layout as flexibly as you can using coordinates on
a winform without using something like absolute positioning in CSS. All
controls in asp.net support CSS so it is possible, but it may not
necessarily show in the designer as its as its rendered as HTML output .

Well, the nature of HTML is incredibly different from that of a windows
forms. There is a designer, yes, and you can place a button on the page,
but it will be positioned in an absolute way, and from what I know, when it
comes to HTML, that's not a good idea.

I would say that instead of looking for absolute positioning, you should
look at CSS to indicate the appropriate margins and padding for your page
and the elements on it.
