My window opens at a particular size. When a user makes the window taller, I
want to expand the grid control to fit the extra available space. I only want
the grid control to grow with the window resize.

Is there a simple way to accomplish this? I'm using VB.Net in a Windows
application.

To have .NET manage the size of a control when its parent is resized,
set the control's Anchor property in the Layout section of the
Properties window.

Thanks. I had the grid anchored to top and bottom, but forgot to anchor it's
containing object as well! Both are now anchored to Top and Bottom.
