How to view properties of control inside table

If I want to put a control inside a cell of an asp:table, the only way I
see is to type the code for the control directly into the cell. At that
point, I can't show the property browser for the button because it
doesn't appear in the property browser's list of controls.

Is there any way to make it appear?

in situations like this you can often get it by opening the page in html
view and positioning the cursor on the control's HTML tag

alternatively, just move it somewhere else, set the properties and then move
it back again. It's a bit of a PITA but that's what I do when editing
repeater templates or controls inside of placeholders

Placing the cursor anywhere within the HTML of the nested control and
showing the properties window works fine; thanks!
