It is my desire to have the label off to the left of the t...

On an ASP.NET page, I have a GridView populated with the results of a LINQ query. I'm setting the DataSource in code, then calling DataBind on it.

Recently, I changed the first function from VB6 to VB.NET, still using an Access database. This is more than a conversion, but a rewrite with additional functionality. It is still fairly simple functionality, with a low-volume...
