I have a simple form  to display two different data tables. The tables have
different numbers of columns and column headings so I put them in separate
DataGridView controls. Works fine except for layout. There is also a label
that I would like to be at the top.

One of these datagridview controls always displays itself in the upper left
corner of the form, the other I can place at will. I have tried placing
everything in flow a layout control, a panel control, and a table layout
control. I have set the dock property to bottom and changed the anchor
property. It will look fine in the designer, but then ignore the settings at
runtime.

What is the magic that gives this control a mind of its own?.
