Hello!

It's not good to use absolute positions when designing web pages but then it
should not
be used when designing win forms.
I have never heard that you should avoid using absolute position when
designing win forms.

Nor have I. But it IS a good idea to implement resizing logic for your
controls.

I mean if I use absolute positioning and the client resize the browser it
might cause the control not to be visible in the screen.
So this problem must be the same if I use windows form.

Which is why I said it's a good idea to implement resizing logic. And,
barring that, at least allow the contents of the window to scroll so you can
still get to all the controls if the user makes the window really small and
you don't re-arrange things.
