I assume you're doing WinForms development based on what you've written. In my experience, the form will look like what is on the designed until you decide to resize the form, in which case the anchor and dock properties will come into play. Could you possibly post a couple of screenshots (one of the designed, one of the app running) so we can see the specific issues you're having?
