>>Has anybody tested (or knows) that when designing WinForms I can use the same dimensions and positions of forms and controls in .NET WinForms as they are in VFP forms? From the appearance they looks kind of sort of the same but I am not sure. And I would like the WinForms to be exactly the same as VFP forms.

You are correct that my objective is to make WinForm look exactly as VFP form. And I agree that I can do it by trial-and-error. My question was if I can simply use the same Height/Width/Top/Left values from VFP forms to set them in WinForms. And from some of the tests I did last night it won't work. The size of form and controls are similar but not the same if you use the same values from VFP forms in WinForms.
