Okay, I need some community help. I am tweaking my main game form in the Windows form designer screen. I am moving components, like PictureBoxes around, but I don't have the fine detail. There is usually a setting for the gridlines or snap in most form designer or graphic tools; in other words, when you are dragging screen elements, how far do they move each time. I can't find this in C#.Net Express. Any ideas.

In VB Express, I go to Tools -> Options. From there expand the Windows Forms Designer node and select General. Within Layout Settings you set SnapToGrid = True and ShowGrid = True and that should help.

Probably some other options as well that you might be interested in playing with, but I think the ShowGrid setting was what you were looking for.

Oh, there is a checkbox down at the bottom of the Tools->Options form to Show All Settings.
