Can anyone point me to a white paper discussing the advantages / disadvantages to using “grid layout” vs. “flow layout” on webforms? I’m looking to address performance issues in particular.

As far as performance goes, it doesn't make any difference. Grid Layout is
designed for table-less layout, using CSS for positioning, etc., while Flow
Layout is for using HTML tables to do your positioning.

Agreed, there is no real performance concern, but I find GridLayout to be
a pain. For example, placing a DataGrid above a TextBox can cause the
DataGrid to "overlap" the TextBox on render if there are too many elements
bound to the DataGrid...
Personally, I prefer FlowLayout, but not for any performance reasons -
just because I find I am more efficient and have much more control over
the page's layout that way.

In addition, you'll have much better luck with non-IE browsers if you stick to flow layout and tables versus grid layout and heavy CSS, if that's a concern for your app. Scientifically speaking, you'll see less "weirdness" when it comes to positioning, painting, etc. Since tables have been around a long time and are so simple, you can trust almost any semi-modern browser to show them the way you'd expect

Check out http://csszengarden.com - in several browsers. The entire site is
done using divs and external CSS Style Sheets, and it is all the same page
using different style sheets. Even in CSS, you can handle different browsers
pretty effectively.

However, when you use VS.NET's Grid mode, you get every object placed on
the page with absolute positioning coordinates specified inline. That's
a far cry from what they're doing on csszengarden.co m.

Absolutely, Mike. One of my chief complaints. I have to use FlowLayout to
avoid that!

I'm using Grid Layout basically because it was the default, but I've got the
whole page designed and changing to Flow layout would be a royal pain, I
think... But now, I find I need to position a label on the far right of the
screen. Is there a way to that in Grid layout so that it's essentially
docked on the right regardless of the client's window width? Thanks.

Hi I have 2 data grids and several controls on a web page. The grids will
vary in size, just wondering if the lower grid could be covered by part of
the upper grid depending on its size or is there a way to dynamically shift
the lower grid so it appears just below the upper grid?
Thanks.

Is there really any advantage to using DIV elements with float style
properies, vs. the old method of TABLE and TR and TD?
I'm finding that by using DIV, it still involves the same number of

the class attribute on the DIV elements, there's not much size savings
anymore for using DIV.
There are other disadvantages to not using TABLE/TR/TD, such as the
