>I also had a sizing routine built into all my base forms and controls. When Anchor was added, I couldn't wait to rip them all out, but... On the other hand, also I had a post binding system. It's a little "clunky" on the inside, but works smooth as silk on the outside. I decided to leave it and still use instead of the new BindControls property. Just personal preferences or old habits die hard?
Most likely, personal preferences. I like my own resizing better than anchoring. I often just drop a control to approximate location and then call Resize from Form.Init to do the job. Also, I don't think that anything except grids, list and editboxes (and their parent containers) should be resized, but the resizing should not be necessarily proportional (e.g. some min. height/width should be preserved etc.) i.e. I should do it programmatically.
