Positioning Controls

[Colin Basterfield]

Hi,

What is the best way to position a set of runtime created controls, in my
instance I need to build a set of controls, a label, and two text boxes per
row returned from a web service, but obviously need to position them in a
tidy fashion, I read somewhere that I can simply override the Render method,
but wasn't sure how to proceed, any thoughts?

TIA

Looks like a "repeater" would do the job (basically it will repeat a
"template" for each row). Regarding positioning (you meant on the form ?) my
preference is to use the flow layout mode and to position fields within a
table...

Custom rendering would be rather IMO to create your own feature specific
controls...

Hi,

cheers for that I'll have a play around in the morning, we live in NZ and
it's now 22:20, and my eyes need to close for a few hours

Compliments of the season.
