Simple question

Hye guyz,

what is the difference between Flow layout panel and Grid layout panel?

thx in advance

Hi! The flowlayout works in asp.net quite the same way as the 'traditional' html layout. When added to a page a control assumes the upmost left position possible. Sequential conrols are placed in a similar way. Flow layout has no dynamic positioning. Gridlayout on the other hand uses dynamical positioning, meaning that a control can be placed anywhere in the page. Here's a link that I hope will help you : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...inwebpages.asp

It is better to use FlowLayout, keep that in mind too.

please use flow layout, because you will get what you code for flow layout.

this is all sounding very java-esce

hmm
the problem with flowlayout is.. i am not able to design properly..

so should i design using grid layout then after that code in flow layout??

Use tables without borders and no cellspacing/cellpadding to align and place your elements.

my first exposure (am a young software engineer) to layouts were with java boarder/grid/flow layouts where everything was really hard to place on the screen, often layouts within layouts within layouts etc... just to get a button to stay in the bottom right corner of the interface. i had really bad experiences

i guess my comment was unsubstaciated but i had to say something

everything is a lot easier to do in vb compared with java ....
