I'm trying to display a white square in the upper part of a form but I have not the slightest idea how.
Like This:
Do this:
Drag a Panel control onto your form from the Containers section in your designer toolbox
Set the Dock property to Top
Resize it so it's as high as you want it
Set the backgorund color property to White
This is just one of a number of different ways that this can be accomplished. What do you plan on doing with this white area of the form?

I'm trying to make a RichTextBox have fixed size and blank space flexible (like Word, WordPad), I made this:
Set Dock to Fill
Set MaximumSize to 600,0 (0 is wildcard for sizes) (Width=600 and Height=0 -wildcard)
I got this: blank spaces are flexible and RichTextBox size is fixed, but RichTextBox is not positioned at center.
I have some options:
Set padding to auto (I suppose that it's not possible)
Set margin to auto (I suppose that it's not possible AND margins not works in winforms)
What do I have to do to position RichTextBox to center?
Use anchor instead of dock.
Dock is designed for Size, Anchor is designed for Location
Your problem is based on location, locate your box to center instead of make Dock margins.
I have a very basic login form with the login centred (pictured). I would like the 5 controls to resize so that they remain within the blue box of the background (like in figure 1).
I have tried to use the anchor property (all 4 sides) but the results were very bad.
Also, I am not sure, but I don't think that the text of the text link and checkbox text resizes? Is there any way to do this? I know that the Font property is read only, so I can't adjust it like that.
Login at regular size
Full screen login. Grows too big. Distorts.
As small as the login will get before the controls disappear.
I am running Visual Studio 2010 Professional (10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel) with no updates showing in Windows Update. When I drop a TextBox control into a Split Container panel, make it Multiline, then Dock in Parent = Fill, it shrinks down to 1 pixel wide and disappears. Of course, at runtime it is invisible.
Is this a bug? Is there a fix? I actually don't need text input - what I want is to display text in a resizable panel, with scroll bars. I could perhaps put code on the events (SizeChanged, SplitterMoved, SplitterMoving...) but that's an ugly solution. Is that the only one?
Apparently I didn't realize I had put a Flow Layout container inside the Split Container panel. This was preventing it from filling the panel.
I just feel awkward when making these Layout as shown (Preview Link)
I have 4-panels.
Red Panel is the outer. I use a FlowLayout.
Black Panel is the inner Panel i use normal panel.
Then, I have Green Panel which is actually a new container for Blue Panel.
Now, my questions are....
What are the solutions if, I want to make Panel-4 Grow (to
stretch) until the edge (right) of the screen.
If I use a TableLayout Panel as a base Panel for Panel-4 &
Panel-3 is that appropriate? BUt If I apply Dock : FIll for that
TableLayout, it seems only stretching the vertical size only,
instead of all (V & H) size.
I would remove the outer red panel, Have one panel dock left, then do a split panel that fills the right and then modify the settings on how the upper panel (panel 1 property of the split panel) grows. You would basically say that the bottom panel (panel 2 of the split panel) is the fixed panel.
Is there is a way to remove the white box around the series label in a chart. I am using the built in chart from the toolbox in Visual Studio 2010. This is the last part I need to finish the appearance of the chart to make it look the way I want. Please help.
I don't see the white box you are describing, but to change the properties of that section of the chart, click it in the designer, go over to the Properties window on the right, and scroll down to Legends.
Once there, hit the [...] button next to it, and that will bring up the set of all of the legends. Select the legend you want, and adjust the BorderColor property to the background color. I didn't see a means by which you could turn the border off, nor does it seem like you can set the width of the border to 0.
These can also be set programmatically, like Chart1.Legends(0).BorderColor = Color.White
