webpage display question

[flnMichael]

Hey,
I am connecting to a database to get information to display on my webpage. The amount of information varies, so how do I go about making my page vary as well?

The way I currently do things is by dropping buttons, text fields, etc. onto the design view, so those elements are static. With this issue, I may have 15 rows to return and the buttons and stuff would still stay in their original places and possibly overlap with the rows. So pretty much, how do I make my page completely dynamic (how do I tie in the amount of data I receive from the database from the codebehind with the html and design page)? Is it somewhat like ASP where I use <% %> in the html to run my database connection instead of in the codebehind?

Thanks
Mike

If you set your pageLayout to FlowLayout then the controls won't be set to an absolute position.

use tables to help keep static objects moving with your data...

so a table in conjunction with the flowlayout should work perfectly?

Yes it will
