I think this is the simplest and easiest auto control resizer man can create
You can resize automatically your controls on the form by using the control's Tag parameter. I created this module to give a quick control resizing ability to smaller programs. You do not have to fill any collection, only to give a parameter in the Tag property of the control.
Note: This is not a proportional resizer program, the idea is very similar to .NET's anchor approach. You can fix (anchor) the distance of a control to one, two, three or all sides of the parent control, of the form. In same cases, like a database application this solution gives a better user experience than a proportional approach.
