I have a button that can move and resize during runtime, and new buttons can be created during runtime with these same proprities and events. Now i need to be able to save the size and location(Top, Left) of these buttons that will be created during runtime.

In other words how do u save the size and location of any button on the form.

This is the code i use to generate new buttons.

VB

Dim i As Integer = 0
    Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        Dim btn1 As New Button
        btn1.Name = "Ad" + i.ToString
        btn1.Text = "ad" + i.ToString
        AddHandler btn1.MouseMove, AddressOf Button1_MouseMove
        AddHandler btn1.MouseDown, AddressOf Button1_MouseDown
        AddHandler btn1.MouseUp, AddressOf Button1_MouseUp
        Me.Controls.Add(btn1)
        btn1.BringToFront()
        i += 1
    End Sub

If you do this during DesignTime the Designer writes this Information in the Design-Script of the Parent.
If you do this during the Runtime and wish that this Setting is memorisized you have to build up you own Serializer which works for your purpose.

Your question is not clear.

in my understanding you have attached events like mousedown and mousemove so in these events you can track the buttons properties and save it wherever you need.
