I have used the AutoLayout component that MS put out. I don't have the link handy but it should not be hard to find. We found a few bugs that were easy to fix (since code is provided). It basically makes use of panels, but after the second form, my team got the hang of it.

Googling for "C# layout manager" and ".NET layout manager" turned up links like http://www.csharphelp.com/archives/archive7.html and http://www.9rays.net/cgi-bin/components.cgi?act=1&cid=91. (Apologies if you have already evaluated these or similar components and rejected them.) I can't speak for the quality of any of these, because... <rant directedAtRanjan="false" onTopic="false"> Personally I hate layout managers because they tend to generate UIs that look like they've been designed by programmers, everything jammed together and sized without regard to aesthetics. No doubt it is possible to cajole layout managers into behaving the way I want but I suspect it will be just as much effort as doing the anchoring, docking and resizing by hand. </rant> But if you're willing to accept the compromised UI and/or put in the effort to make it sing, then the tools seem to be out there, both free and commercial. -- Ivan Towlson White Carbon -----Original Message----- From: Unmoderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

I am facing the same problem. Even tried out some 3rd party controls but to no avail. Anchor and Dock setting for each control (around 30 per form on an average) on each form(around 150 ) doesn't seem to be the likely answer.
