Hello
I am developing an application in C# .NET. The forms in the application are re-sizable by the end user, like all standard applications. I need the controls like pictureboxes, textboxes and labels on the forms to be re-sized and repositioned according to the change in forms size. I've tried anchor and dock properties but couldn't get them work exactly how I wanted to. Any help please..

Use Dock with Padding, use the hierarchy of controls (many of then would be Panels) to get desired result. Keep trying.

Have you tried setting the Dock property of the Control to Fill as:

C#

YourControl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

using this your control will auto fill to the size of whole form

Good answer: that's the best way. Also, it's important to use the property System.Windows.Forms.Controls.Padding on a parent control.
