Does anyone know what would cause controls placed on a derived form to
resize themselves when saving/rebuilding the form? This is maddening
behavior and I don't have a clue as to why it is occurring.
 
I've experienced this in the past with the windows forms designer. I'm not
100% sure if this will help, but try leaving the Font Property of the form
(and other container controls) set to the Default (MS Sans Serif 8pt regular
I think). You can still change the font of the textboxes and labels to make
the form look the same.

HTH,

I'll bet that was it. The developer who was experiencing this problem (and
asking me what to do about it) DID change the font (he was a web developer
and this is his first Windows application... and he has had a propensity to
try to make it look more "web-like").

Regardless, this sounds like a rather wierd bug.

lol. Yeah. It's been around since the first version of the windows forms
designer (C# and VB). I'm surprised that people haven't complained about it
more often ;)

Hope the fix works out,
