Forms Designer

I am currently going thru the VB.Net Express Edition 2005 tutorials. In tutorial no. 2 they describe aligning controls and as you move a control a blue line appears to show you the alignment of 1 control to another. I cannot get this line to appear. Can someone tell me the setting to turn this feature on.

Thank you

    It should just work - perhaps it doesn't work in Express It happens as you drag items, for example, place a button, then drag another button next to it. It will show the line when it gets to the right distance apart.

    It should work just fine in VB Express. It is possible to turn 'em off, though - Go to tools -> options, navigate to the Windows Forms Designer -> General node and make sure that the Layout mode value is set to "SnapLines"
