Hi,

How do you group fields on Web Forms using VB .NET?

With Window Forms, you use the GroupBox Control - what is the equivalent with Web Forms?

Using Panel Control

Well you can use a div tag and and setup an ID and say run at server. If you are trying to tell server that you want this section to disappear or this whole section be disabled this might be the way. I am doing it like this for the website I am working.

Santhi is correct. Use a panel control. Then if you are wanting to hide the entire section, as vshriniwasan suggests, you can set the visible property to false.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice. I have tried panel control and all the fields bunch up to the top left cormer of the panel and wrap. How do I stop this wrapping as I want to layout items within the panel.

You probably have your pagelayout property set to FlowLayout. This is the similar to building regular HTML pages without absolute positioning. You can insert a table and then put your controls in the different rows/columns.

Or you can change the pagelayout property to GridLayout and use absolute positioning.

Panel Control layouts item horizontally according to the width specified for the Panel.Wrap will be true by default it specifies whether the item inside the control comes to next line if it doesn't fit in panel width.Panel control renders HTML Div element.
   You use our HTML technique for laying out the items inside the panel control.Use <BR> or &nbsp; accordingly.

You can add a table inside the panel and place your controls inside. This way you can make sure your application is browser independent

You use Table also for laying out..

Santhi is correct. Another way to do is not to specify any widht (for that matter an inline style) and then place the controls inside a table. This will ensure that the controls are aligned as per the specifications mentioned in the table
