Adding user interface controls to the project

In this section, you will build a Web page that looks like the following

screenshot.

1. Click Design in the lower left corner to switch from Source View to

Design View.

2. Select View»Toolbox to display the Toolbox. The Toolbox contains

components and controls that you can add to your project.

3. Expand the HTML group on the Toolbox. Select the Table control in

the Toolbox and drag and drop it on the form. You use the table cells

to arrange the user interface controls on your Web page, as shown in

the previous screenshot.

4. The default table that appears is 3 × 3. This table provides a

customizable form for arranging the user interface controls for your

Web page. Expand the table to approximately 300 px (pixels) tall by

550 px wide by clicking and dragging the table borders.

5. If you are using Visual Studio 2005, merge the top two cells of all three

columns by selecting the cells, right-clicking, and selecting Merge

Cells. If you are using Visual Studio 2008, merge the top two cells of

all three columns by selecting the cells, right-clicking, and selecting

Modify»Merge Cells.

6. Expand the Standard group on the Toolbox. The Standard group

contains ASP.NET server controls included in the System.Web.UI

namespace.
