Stupid Q - Show grid lines on form in VB 2005? 1

[CraigBest]

Okay, stupid question tine -- how do I get the grid lines to appear on a form in the VB.NET 2005 IDE? I have tried setting the grid to different sizes, but can't seem to figure out where to turn them on. Been trying to figure it out for a half hour... Help!

Thanks

The ShowGrid line is there. But you may need to select "Show All Options" first to see this.

OK, yeah that's where I've been resetting the grid size and all. The ShowGrid property is set to true, but -- no grid! So what could be wrong?

Glad to know I'm not stupid, and I was in the right place. But would really like to know how to fix this. I'm totally new to the 2005 IDE.

Layout mode = SnapToGrid
ShowGrid = True
SnapToGrid = True

Had the same Q myself.

Close the form designer and reopen for effect to happen.

All right! That did it. Screwy, isn't it? Thanks!
