    Position:absolute ... you have to be kidding me!

    I'm evaluating aspose adhoc & want to know how if there a supported API make the ugly dual listbox interface  NOT USE absolute positioning. I guess if you love visual basic forms that only work on the resolution you develop on, absolute positioning is fine, but otherwise...  ummmm .... no.

    I'll write my own if I have to... your use of absolute positioning is a deal breaker.

    Hi,

    Thanks for considering Aspose.

    After adding the AdHoc control on the asp.net page, if you go to "source view" of aspx page, you will notice that the AdHoc control is wrapped around a <div> html tag. To make the control position relative (pretty), please add the style propery to <div> as follows:

    <div style="position:relative;">

    <cc1:AdHoc ID="AdHoc1" runat="server" />

    </div>


    Best Regards,

    Thanks for the reply. I went ahead & wrote my own since I need better control of the emitted html. In my barebones implementation,  I pass an empty table to my query generator & it returns the query as needed. No intermediate tables are created in the process and viewstate is kept to a minimum

    Thanks again.
