Hi!

I´ve just joined here and thinks this seems like a good place to be
:)
I´m working on a project using webforms and one thing that I would
like to know is, if I copy a few controls and pastes it onto the
webform they are placed on top of the copied controls, how do I avoid
this...???
I want to speed up building the application and should be possible to
do like this, but how!!

Any tips please

Thanks

Hi Håkan,

I sounds like you want to change your WebForm's pageLayout property from GridLayout to FlowLayout using the Properties pane. (GridLayout is the default.)

When you use GridLayout, it is much like assigning your controls to DIVs, so that they can overlap by default. This method, however, has many conflicts when viewing your page in Netscape. FlowLayout is not as flexible, but it is safer for cross-browser pages.

Take care,

Eric
 
Hi mr Grip,

In addition to Eric,

When you not are using the Grid layout, the in my opinion most easiest thing
to do, as with all webpages, is to use the table where you can place your
controls in.

I hope this helps

Thanks alot for your answers...Actually I'm using tables for my
controls, and I think that works quite ok, one thing about that
though:

I there any chance to change the behaviour when cutting and pasting
this table with all of my controls: All of the checkboxes (in this
example) is inverted in order, I mean checkbox1, 2,3 osv... the last
one comes first and so on...why is this? I want the same order as the
copy... Ideas??

And another big question for me, is there a limitation of the size of
a webform.aspx in .net? When I design it it really acts like a
superheavy application, adding new controls etc takes alooooooot of
time even though I use a P4 with 1G of memory and a 128M Geforce4
videocard.

Help please!!
