Hi...

The questions I have are not about ASP.NET but about Visual Web Developer 2008, I'm just starting learning on my own [total newbie about ASP.NET] and I'm having a little problem with the program...

When I drag and drop a Button or a TextBox from the Toolbox, I can select it change its positioning style in Format>Position (for example, to "relative")...

But when I use a Label and select it, the Position option from the Format menu is disabled, so I can't change it to relative or absolute or anything... why? =\

Also, I can't select [for example] the Button and the TextBox at the same time with the Ctrl or the Shift keys, and I can't use the Layout toolbar to align them... is there a special way/trick/method to select more than 1 item to align them?

 Thanks in advance...

Ideally, since you are just starting, I recommend that you learn to position items on a web page properly using CSS: http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/

The positioning "help" that VWD provides is there for people who can't be bothered, or to make Windows Forms application developers who are moving across to ASP.NET feel more at home (IMO).

You have to to add style="display:block" to the label and hyperlink since these controls are not based on block elements.

Multiple selection is not supported in 2008, sorry. See this thread: http://forums.asp.net/p/1170907/2114310.aspx#2114310 Try using simple table based layout instead, this way controls will stay aligned even if font size or style changes or window gets resized.
