Trying to find Layout>Layer?

[Mark G.]

Am relatively new to programming and Visual Studio 2008. Anyhow, am going
through a book and it had recommend that if in ASP.net and in design mode on
a html page and I wanted to create a control (such a textbox) that I can
move around that I should select Layout>Insert Layer from the 'menu'.
Anyhow, this may seem dumb, but I cannot seem to find this and even using
help, I am not having luck so now I am turning here hoping that someone can
point me in the right direction. Anyhow, thanks for any help you can
provide!

Mark,

In clean ASP Net it is hard to do what you want. The client side of AspNet
is build on DHTML and therefore JavaScript.

However, you can have a look at Silverlight, in future one of the things it
should do is what you ask.
I don't know were it is today.

Be aware that to start with Silverlight at the moment asks much knowledge
from ASPNet.
Your current challenge is not the best way to start with AspNet.
