For developing web applications, Visual Studio uses VWD as its IDE.
It's the exact same VWD as VWD Express.

Visual Studio adds quite a few more features than VWD uses.

But I could not find and add Layout Menu in VS2008.
I need set Absolute position for each control.
 
re:

The default allows you to do that.

Just set :

<BODY ms_positioning="GridLayout">

re:

Go to "Tools", "Options", "HTML Designer", "CSS Styling",
and change positioning to absolute.

Also, see :

The default value of the pageLayout property is "GridLayout" for new HTML pages
and Web forms created within Visual Basic .NET or Visual C# Web Applications.

Setting the pageLayout property to "GridLayout" in Visual Studio .NET
inserts an ms_positioning attribute into the <BODY> element of an HTML document

Thanks, After read your post, I am able to set the absolute position at
project level.
But I think the VS 2008 or VS 2005 Web/ASP.NET IDE is not exectly the same as
VWD 2008 /VWD 2005.
I use VS 2008 and VS 2005 and follow the ASP AJAX Vidios in ASP.NET.
The IDEs are different from the vedio.
Another exemple is the Ajax update panel, I cannot put controls in the panel
in design mode. I can only insert code in source tab for VS2008. I install
the ASP.NET 2.0 and add reference in VS 2005, but the the Ajax extentions
controls still not show in VS2005.
So I thought VWDs were better than VS in Doing ASP.NET
