VS.Net auto places the controls

[Geir Sanne]

I got a windows form that i move some controls and then
save.

when i open the same form all the controls are bigger and
in a different place.

how do i turn off this ?

Hi Geir,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, the problem you are facing is that
the size and position of controls on a Windows Form will be changed after
re-opening the it. Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding. I
think more information is needed before moving forward:

1. What's the version of Visual Studio .NET, 2002 or 2003?

2. Does this problem occurs to all the Forms/controls or it only to a
specific Form/controls?

Based on my research, I found a known issue in Visual Studio .NET 2003 that
placing controls on an inherited Windows Form may have such problem. We
provide a hotfix to resolve this problem. You will need to contact
Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list
of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about
support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;CNTACTMS

Please also be noted that you will not be charged to request a hotfix.

If you have any problems or concerns, please feel free to let me know. I
look forward to hearing from you.

Have a nice day!

Im using vs.net 2003 and have both frame 1.0 and 1.1
installed.
2. Does this problem occurs to all the Forms/controls or it only to aspecific Form/controls?

it occurs on all forms the inherit from my baseform, so
this hotfix looks like will make it work.

Hi Geir,

Thanks for your prompt response.

download?

The hotfix is not made public, so that you have to contact our Microsoft
Product Support Services. Please refer the Support Professional to the
unfinished KB article 824451, I believe he will put the fix on a secure FTP
server for you to download.

Have a nice day!
