I have a collection of usercontrols with each usercontrol having the
DockStyle set to Top. When I add the controls add design-time, they are
added correctly. But when the collection is being persisted the controls are
added in the reverse order!!!

Is there an easy way to persist controls with DockStyle.Top correctly?
Thnx

docking is dependent on the index of the child controls in the
ControlCollection. If what you're seeing at designtime is correct, it
should be the correct order of the controls. control added last is
layout-ed first. try to experiment with controls using dock and manipulate
their z-orders using sendtoback and bringtofront contextmenus.
