Look into the Anchor and Dock properties for the controls on your forms. Using these properties, pretty much any UI can be made to resize reasonably. The best way to learn about these properties and how to use them properly is to play with them.

Basically, that's the key, my 5. I would warn against using of Anchor where Dock can work -- Anchor tends to cause flicker during resize and is more of manual work -- taking care about equal space on, say, left and right in first place is still manual. I also would mention Padding. Main thing is -- no absolute positioning. Anyway, I described it in my solution, please see.
