I am creating a web application in Visual Studio.net and am having great difficulty in formatting the layout of pages. Having previously used Macromedia's Ultradev I am finding VS.net a nightmare. Microsoft has obviously not given much thought to layout.

In Ultradev it was easy to drop a table onto the page and merge cells e.t.c.

How can this be done in Visual Studio?
I can create a table easy enough but how do I merge cells and Add coloumns and rows?

Thanks in Advance
