Mr GUID,

You are spot on.

As usual the permies are showing themselves up for the numpties they undoubtedly are.

Grid layout. W@nkers.

Cheers HyperD ... id spent a lot of time over the last 3 years developing what I believed to be 'best practice' when it came to the different elements of a .Net application... to be employed as a lead developer then have my ideas laughed at by a 'Technical Architect' whose spec consisted of 'though shalt have a login screen' or 'and lo, the user is presented with the information they requested'.. it sort of made me wonder why i'd bothered.

Certainly I feel a combination of master pages and CSS for positioning and style provides the easiest upgrade path to .Net 2.x when it becomes widely accepted / bugs are patched... (I wouldn't use it commercially until the middle of next year if it was up to me, but im already planning my certifications...)

Similar to your post on Master templates McQ.

I agree with yourself - I always use CSS for positioning (separate CSS for layout and style). I only use drag n drop on WebForms for quick demos.

ASP.Net and CSS

Now, for the last couple of contracts Ive encounted some opposition to using seperate Stylesheets to define positioning for say, header, left menu, center content, and right hand content, but it seems to me this is the ideal way to provide browser agnostic layout which can be altered easily.

But the Permies have all insisted on using Grid Layout is VS.Net rather than Flow and just dragging and dropping controls onto the form - they have no concept of building a system that will work with a specified target audience and have not even examined which browsers are being used by their current customers.

Of course as a contractor you can only raise an issue for so long before you are seen as being a 'problem' ...

But, all you pro's out there (not ho's, or id post it in Light Relief), how are you guys handling the GUI side of your ASP.Net apps..?
