Your title says "web form" but your question is about "winform." These are different, which is it?

In the title you write "web form" and in your question you write "winform".
Can you change the title or the question using the "Improve question" button?
If you don't do that, people can't know what you mean.

Once you clarify which you mean (winform vs webform), can you please clarify what exactly you are trying to do? Are you looking to resize the form or the controls on a form? Are you looking to resize inside a parent window or is it a stand-alone form? What do you want it to resize to (size)?

Short answer is: nowhere. If you design the layout properly, the form will resize smoothly by itself, using the code which is already written. In Web forms, you should learn CSS and how to make fluid design. In System.Windows.Forms you should not use any absolute positioning at all, but should use System.Windows.Forms.Control.Dock with System.Windows.Forms.Control.Padding.
