'Does anyone know how to put a control- label,panel inside the table cell of table web control? Help!
I've seen an example but each time I drop a control in the cell, I lose it. Maybe there is a technique.

Where are you trying to do this? In the markup or code-behind?

Try typing text first like 'as' in the table cell, then drop the control in between the 'a' and 's'.

In the code behind. I just want to drop a label control in the table cell and I don't know why it does'nt do it.

Thanks

How do you "drop" a control in a table cell in the Code Behind? You seem to be mixing up two concepts here. The Design View allows for adding controls using drag and drop, while the Code Behind is used to add controls programmatically.

In Code Behind, you can simple add one control to another, using its Controls.Add method, like this:

MyTableCell.Controls.Add(LoadControl("/Controls/AnotherControl.ascx"));

or
Label newLabel = new Label();
newLabel.Text = "Bla Bla Bla";
MyTableCell.Controls.Add(newLabel);

In both cases, MyTableCell could be an HTML Table cell to which you can add other controls.

Does this help?

Everyone is unique, except for me.

Ah... perhaps you mean in the markup. I failed to provide that as the third option.

To add a label control in the markup (HTML view) of your web form (or user control) you simply type the following inside the cell's <td> and </td> tag:

<asp:label runat="server" id="myLabel" />

You cannot drag-and-drop from the toolbar to the markup (or code-behind as noted by Imar).
