>>>There must be something I am missing about the positioning of controls on an ASP.NET web page. (ASP.NET 2, VS 2005). Drag and drop is not working the way I am used to with desktop IDEs like VFP, Delphi, and VB.NET. When I drag and drop from the ASP.NET toolbox onto a page in Design mode, the control snaps into position next to the previously placed control, regardless of where I try to drop it. Similarly, within the Design window I can't drag a control to a different position, above or below another control, etc. What's up?

With flow layout you can simply have a table to position your controls as you want.
