<ARGH!>

Coding in Visual Studio 2008 for ASP.NET seems to be an easier way of
doing what I've been doing the last while using PHP.

It's like re-inventing the wheel by covering it with a tire. If only I
didn't spend the last thirty minutes looking for the frigging table
menu. You have to be in a design view Carney. Design view.

To make matters more confusing the book says "Design View or Split View". The table menu only shows up in Split View if you entered it from Design View.
