Grid Layout in Visual Studio 2008

[clamum]

Perhaps I'm just retarded (I wouldn't doubt it), but where is the option to use the Grid Layout for ASP .NET Web Development (creating Web Forms) in Visual Studio 2008? All I have now is the Flow Layout, which I guess I could use tables to layout elements more precisely, but I'd rather use a Grid Layout like you can doing Windows Forms.

Should be in the Data section of the Toolbox

View>Toolbox

Data
GridView

No, not a GridView control. I'm talking about a Grid Layout like you have when designing a Windows Forms application, basically absolute positioning for a web page form. I swear I've used it in previous version of Visual Studio but perhaps I'm mistaken.

Maybe I'm stuck using tables to layout my forms?

EDIT: Here's an example from Visual Studio 2005 with the Absolute Position option. If I choose that, I'm free to drag that textbox anywhere on the page. This is what I'm looking for in VS 2008.

Ah f this pile of shite. I had everything right (had to go to Tools -> Options, and set HTML Designer -> CSS Styling to "Change positioning to absolute...", but in order to drag the element around you have to drag it by the little white tab on top, and not the element itself. What a fucking crock.

Ok, topic solved.
