Hi:
First, Brent, have you read my tutorials on the subject of positioning
Winforms controls manually and using the Layout Table control?
As for VS 2008 accessibility, it is almost identical to VS 2005 from an
accessibility standpoint. I use Windoweyes and have found work-arounds for
anything that was not particularly accessible under that IDE. Like VS 2005
it depends on the settings in the Options Menu Tree under the Tools menu bar
that determine how the IDE will act with a screen reader. If you are
familiar with 2005 you should have no problems with 2008 in my opinion. I
can not speek to the JAWS scripts since I do not use them.
Working in VB.net, VWD  and Sql Server are what I do mostely and use most of
the built-in UI controls, Data and Formatting Wizards and even some of the
Designers with no problems.
I have used the various Tool Bar controls in VB.net, mentioned in the other
post, The Table Designer for my Databases and advanced XSD and Configuration
processing, and, well if you have other questions just ask since there are
over 1,000 diferent windows and what not in the IDE providing many, many
development functions.
