Question

typically in java if you have a layout manager of somesort, when you resize the page then the components in that panel will resize accordingly. I think my app is missing some sort of layout manager to control resizing as at the moment everything is just static

Is there a way to make it resize on the changing of the form size? say the user makes the page bigger, then the componenets adjust and so on.

Thanks

.NET has layout managers as well.

Personally, I prefer the TableLayoutPanel for my WinForms apps.

Once you layout the Table (using a combination of static/dynamic sized rows/columns) you add your child controls to the table cells. Once you add your controls, you can dock or anchor the controls to the cell so that they are automatically adjusted when the window is re-sized.
