I get this response from a web service call. Something like this

<Response>
<Control1 type = "DropdownList" value= "USA,UK,Sweden,UAE"/>
<Control2 type = "Textbox" value= "Contries"/>
<Control3 type = "Button" value= "None">
</Response>

Based on this I de-serialize it into List<Controls>.

Now I need to be able to dynamically create a winform based on these controls. My problem is the layout. I want to be able to create them nicely separated (If possible vertically aligned) in batches of lets say 5.So If I need 15 controls I have 3 columns and 5 rows.
What would be best way to achieve this? I know that I can use the inbuilt positioning properties like top, width etc., but maybe someone out there has done something similar in a better way.

    I think you should use TableLayoutPanel. Also you can read best practices to use this control.

    One benefit of using TableLayoutPanel from above article:

    Layouts that will be modified or generated dynamically at run time, such as data entry forms that have user-customizable fields added or subtracted based on preferences.
