Newbie: Tables in ASP

Hi,

I'm a newbie to ASP.NET. I've used notepad HTML without issues creating
tables, but using ASP to create tables graphicaly, I can't seem to get them
to work.

Is it best to design tables graphically in VS or using the "source" page? Is
there a way to design WYSIWYG in VS so that you can drop a table onto the
form then drag it to the width & height you desire? This I guess is what I'm
expecting to be available in VS.

Many thanks for any help with this in advance

Anthi im using VS 2005
i used to only use text to design tables
but having to use ajax, wizard controls etc.. being a lazy bum, i just
use VS' wysiwyg designer.
yeah it is easy, add rows, columns, merge cells, etc... simpler and
more reliable then dreamweaver.
it is under HTML tab of the controls toolbar

Hi Nick,

That sounds promising. Could you spoon feed me to find where the Controls
tool bar is. I just can't seem to find it.

Many thanks for your reply!
