Visual Web Developer 2010 - How To Use Absolute Positioning On A Web Form
Jan 8, 2011
I'm just starting with using VWD and asp.net to create web sites.
I can't get a handle on how to use absolute positioning of asp server controls like the label, textbox, dropdown, etc. on a web form.
I've set the option in settings under CSS styling to change positioning to absolute when dragged from toolbox.
I've set the web form to use absolute positioning at every tag and property I can find.
When I first add the web form, I select absolute positioning. For each control I set absolute positioning and so on. I can see the tags in the source have the style property setup with position: absolute.
But the controls on the form will not move on the page to a absolute position.
Sometimes I can get a button or textbox to move, but not always.
I'm used to designing windows forms and this has been very frustrating.
I have been ising TFS 2010 with VS 2010 Ultimately for a couple of months now. I have a client who is using Visual Web 2010, does anyone know if this integrated with TFS easily?
I have developed a website and have always used relative positioning. I am now going to be writing a web application which will have a lot of text boxes / combo selections. My life would be a lot easier to use absolute positioning.
Would it be best to do it in relative or absolute for a web application. Basically I am taking a desktop app and rewriting it as an ASP.Net app.
I uninstalled VWD 2010 Express Beta2. Then installed latest Release(April 12th) via Web Platform Installer .oh yes after installing XP Service Pack 3.
It all installed successfully and when I start the VWD 2010 express image comes up ....there is this fine text that says....
"For Evaluation Purpose Only"
"Use of this software should be limited to evaluation purpose only"
Being confused with that message I looked at Help->About VWD 2010 Express and right on top it says:
"29 days remaining"
So what's happening ? Did I install some wrong product... I don't think so...I used Web Platform Installer and yes it is "Visual Web Developer 2010 Express" and not a Professional Trial software.

I have a form that I'm working on in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I have a dropdown list to choose a data from the database. I want to use the chosen list item to populate a GridView object. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do.I have a data connection which uses a fixed SQL statement to populate the dropdown list and that works fine. I can select an item on the list and retrieve the correct information for the next query (namely an ID value for the next SQL statement).I have the data connection with another SQL statement to populate the gridview and that works fine. The gridview is currently just showing the entire dataset (it doesn't use the item that was selected in the dropdown list.Now I want to change the gridview's data connection to use the selected item in the dropdown list as a parameter to modify the SQL statementWhen I look at the properties of the data connection for the gridview data, I can bring up the Query properties and see the select statement. I also see the properties panel. I can add a property Name (Mine is "ID"). I then chose "Control" in Parameter Source and selected the ControlID for the dropdown list that has the ID information that I want to use for the parameter. I went into the advanced properties and modified some of the information because the ControlID is a Text field and the Database Column is a BigInt.My select statement looks like this:
[Code]....
What I don't know is how to get the parameter into the select statement.I've tried:

Is there anything one needs to do to the website (originally built with WebMatrix) to work it under Visual Web Developer Express 2010 now that VS 2010 SP1 is out? I made a full copy of my website and tried to run it under VWD-E. Keep getting "Empty Stack" error. Have no idea of what that is, but it references code in the _AppStart.cshtml page involving the WebSecurity class and ebMail helper.
I just want to position the first label in a position on the left and then the start position of the second label at a position. I can't use relative because of the different lengths of the strings. But I the absolute will not work. I tried putting position relative in the cssclass phoneCostsStyle but it doesn't work.
I've just installed and am using web developer express 2010. I am following asp.net tutorials by Joe Stagner and very good they are too. They are at..
http://www.asp.net/vwd/ and the one I'm watching is the page layout one - about using style sheets
However, the tutorials say that on the left hand side of the screen there should be tabs which say 'CSS' and 'Man' (apparently for manage styles. I don't have those tabs, so can't drill down into the CSS.
