Too difficult to make my Windows app stetch per user desire?

We're designing a Windows app to be used at our company. Monitor
resolutions range from 1024x768 and up. It's going to be an Outlook-style
app but in the main area will be one of various user controls displaying all
different sorts of things.

We could go the easy route and fix the form dimensions to 1024x768 and not
allow it to be resized. But this seems unprofessional. Is there an easy
way to allow the user to size as desired without everything looking bad?

We have Infragistics and I've played around with docking (in it and native
in Visual Studio). It seems that the main panel area can get pretty messed
up looking depending on how the screen is resized.

Just looking for some advice/guidance.

Thanks,
Ron
