in the VS designer, i can use the Format menu item to align, center in
form, etc, etc....
so for example, if i have two or three buttons and some textboxes, i
can align, or
whatever, using the design GUI.
however, if the forms appearance changes (form size, textbox size,
number of buttons, etc),
due to the users experience, how can i easily do things such as center
controls, align, etc
through code(runtime)?
i can brute force by doing the math and resize the form and set the
location of the controls
on the form, but it's just a PITA. is there an easier way?
thanks folks!

You might want to check out the TableLayoutPanel or the FlowLayoutPanel.
They assist in laying out elements on a form in certain patterns.
