I want to view controls (say:Checkbox control) nested in  <Asp:Panel> <TR> tag  in design view of  visual 2005. however it works fine in Visual Studio 2003.

Can anyone help me to know the reason or recommend the work around so that I can view controls in design view using ASP:Panel and <TR> tag. 

excerpt of code is given below

 Try it with the panel tag outside the table tag... Like this.

<

</asp:Panel>

</form>

</

body>

I am aware that it works by setting Panel tag out of table tag . however i came to know about  this problem after migrating 2003 project into 2005. In 2003 , this particular functionality was allowed and now in visual studio 2005 the same is not allowed . 

Hence wanted to confirm if same can be achived by setting some  property of asp:Panel ? or is it bug in visual studio 2005 ? and if it is introduced purposely by microsoft then  what is the reason for it being not allowed ???

tags between <table><tr><td> are pretty much a "no no" as far as I know... I could be wrong though.  If you need to be able to do something with the whole row (like hide it) you can do this...

<table>
     <tr runat="server" id="MyTableRow">
              <td>first cell in my row</td>
     </tr>
</table>

Then in the code you can change the rows properties by saying "MyTableRow.whatever"

I think the code about should be

<table>
   <tr>
      <td>
         an always visible row
      </td>
   </tr>
   <tr id="rowToHide" runat="server">
      <td>
         i want to hide this whenever i want to
      </td>
   </tr>
</table>

in the code you could make your table row visible/invisible like this

rowToHide.Visible = true;

this is an easier approach rather than using the panel solution which most of the time the html code gets screwedup whenever the VS parser encounters something that it cant understand.
