getting 2005 grid to look like 2003How can I get the 2005 ide to have the dots in the form that the
controls are aligned to like in 2003? Tools - Options - Windows Form Designer - general - LayoutMode.
I used to go blind with the dots though.

I'm having trouble getting the controls placed where I want them because
it's always snapping them to alignment with other controls. I'm pretty sure you can turn of the snap to alignment with the dots but I need some kind of positive alignment. I'd LIKE a compromise between the two maybe the lines like it defaults to in 2005 but not making them snap into place with other controls. It's too hard to explain so I'm not sure why I'm even typing this. Got work to do. vbnetdev wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Tools - Options - Windows Form Designer - general - LayoutMode. > > I used to go blind with the dots though. > > > "cj" <cj@nospam.nospam> wrote in message > news:uhD%23greJHHA.4760@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> How can I get the 2005 ide to have the dots in the form that the controls >> are aligned to like in 2003? > > Well good luck to you.

old grid style and I wouldn't go back, but are you aware that holding left ALT key while dragging temporarily turns of snap alignment, which can help with precise alignment in some cases.

That could be all I need.
