Snap to Grid

I have a PDA app form up and have fields and buttons on it. I am trying to line things up the way I want them but this stupid VS2005 thinks it knows better and is snaping things all over the place. I've turned off the grid and the snap functions in the Tools options but obviously Microsoft felt the need to put it somewhere else as well. You know, just to complicate things and waste as much of my time with stupid stuff as possible.

Can anyone tell me how to set this form so it works like the old unsnappy 2003 stuff worked I don't mind the alignment lines showing up but don't make me put it where you think it should go. I might not want things lined up!!

Thanks

Have you considered asking in a more polite manner and without bashing the company whose product you are using At the end of the day, you have a question and are asking for other people to give up their time and help you with it. Losing the noise and sticking to the facts will increase your chances of receiving help. Try to remove the emotion and keep it professional or at least courteous:

Back to your question… You can have either the grid style or the lines (with snapping). To turn off the snapping you have to turn off the lines. You can do this from

Tools->Options->Windows Forms Designer->General->Layout Settings. Change the LayoutMode (and close/reopen your designer).
