ehelin Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Hi: When I am using the designer in Studio .Net 2005, I get this irritating blue alignment line when I move a component in proximity to another. I assumed this was snap to grid, but I turned it off and the da@#$! thing still appears...I don't mind new stuff, as long as I can turn if off!! Anyone have a thought? Thanks! Eric Quote
Leaders snarfblam Posted January 31, 2006 Leaders Posted January 31, 2006 The blue lines (along with the green lines and magenta lines) are "Snap Lines." They allow you to align edges of controls and space them consistantly, even if the controls don't align with the grid. At first I did not like this feature, but I have come to like it very much after using it a little, but to each his own. If you don't like it, go to Tools>Options>Windows Form Designer>General, and set the LayoutMode from SnapLines to SnapToGrid. Quote [sIGPIC]e[/sIGPIC]
Nate Bross Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I agree, at first it was hard to get used to, but now I don't know how we ever lived without it!

ehelin Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Thanks guys...I will try it! However, you are right, I'm getting used to it and starting to see its usefulness. Eric Quote
