System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace

---

Specifies the vertical alignment of an object within a control.

The VerticalAlign enumeration represents the vertical alignment options for an item relative to its container control.

Member Name	Description
Bottom	The contents are aligned with the bottom edge of the enclosing control.
Middle	The contents are aligned with the vertical middle of the enclosing control.
Top	The contents are aligned with the top edge of the enclosing control.
NotSet	The vertical alignment is not set.

The sample below shows how to programmatically set the VerticalAlign property of a DataGrid at run time, depending on user input. The code also demonstrates how simple it is to retrieve the available system vertical align styles and dynamically add each to a selectable list.

void Page_Load ( Object src, EventArgs e ) {
   if ( !IsPostBack ) {
      ICollection v_alignEnum = 
         TypeDescriptor.GetConverter ( typeof ( VerticalAlign ) ).GetStandardValues ( );
      foreach ( VerticalAlign v in v_alignEnum ) {
         AlignSelect.Items.Add ( v.ToString ( ) );
      }
      AlignSelect.SelectedIndex = 2;

      string query = "SELECT Lastname, Firstname, Address, City, Country FROM nw_Employees";
      myGrid.DataSource = fetchData ( query, "northwind" );
      myGrid.DataBind ( );
   }
   myGrid.ItemStyle.VerticalAlign = ( VerticalAlign ) AlignSelect.SelectedIndex;
}
