  Hi,
  in order to freely move the controls in visual studio 2005 (web app) i have to right clik the control and change the style property- layout to relative.
  
  This is very irritating as i have to do with every control.
  
  Is there a way that i can change this option once so that any control can be dragged and positioned anywhere

  Go to tools > options then the html editor node in the tree. You can set the option you want there.
  
  I personally don't like the html produced by VS in this mode - I think it's better to use a xhtml & css layout.

  I think you can use skin file. Add App_Themes folder to your project and then add a theme folder and also create a SkinFile and write your style like bellow:
  
  
  

  <asp:GridView runat="server" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None">
      <FooterStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
      <RowStyle BackColor="#EFF3FB" />
      <EditRowStyle BackColor="#2461BF" />
      <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#D1DDF1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
      <PagerStyle BackColor="#2461BF" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
      <HeaderStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Right" />
      <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
  </asp:GridView>
