I find that the Resize event gets called multiple times when resizing a form. As an alternitive, I implememnted the LittleLowRightCorner control (download #25353) that displays a rectangle as the resizing is occuring. Then when the mouse is released, the form is rezized to the size of the rectangle. Much smoother.
