still trying to figure out how to do this as I have a grid that gets data
from a dbase and can change in size. I have controls that I always want to
be just below the grid, with no gaps. This is a webform so thinking html may
take care of it. When only a few items are returned to the grid I get,

datagrid
<<< gap, large blank space>>>>

other controls.

Usually VS.NET will put a datagrid inside a <P> tag if you look at the code
view. If you get rid of both the opening and closing <P> and </P> then you
will lose the gap.

Paul,

Use Flow Layout.

In short, you should set the pageLayout property to FlowLayout instead of
GridLayout.

Here are all the details about the various options you have to solve your
problem:

Thanks for the information. I ended up using a table (with absolute
positioning) with placeholders which seemed to work except that I could not
access selections from a dropdown listbox that I have embedded in the table.
html
<asp:Table id="Table1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 48px; POSITION: absolute;
TOP: 64px" runat="server"Width="199px" Height="89px">
<asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server" Width="155px" > Title of
page</asp:Label></asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow><asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell>
<asplaceHolder id="PlaceHolder1" runat="server"></asplaceHolder>
</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell>
<asplaceHolder id="PlaceHolder2" runat="server"></asplaceHolder>
</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow><asp:TableRow><asp:TableCell>
<asplaceHolder id="PlaceHolder3" runat="server"></asplaceHolder>
</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow></asp:Table>
then in the code I had
PlaceHolder3.Controls.Add(me.dropdownintable)
'also had
dim dropdown as DropDownList.
dropdown = CType(table1.FindControl("dropdownintable"),DropDo wnList)
but got an invalid cast runtime error.
I was not able to see selections made in the dropdown list from the code as
I have a routine that gets all of the selections from the dropdownlist and
then calls a stored procedure for each one found.
I could browse the dropdownlist in debug mode but it shows no selections
even when selections are made.
