how to auto adjust controls when their size changes c#

I have on winform an usercontrol that can be multiple created dynamically at runtime. I have two ways to see them: in maximal mode and minimal mode. The idea is that ,when they are minimal,some objects from usercontrol are hidden. I want,if I switch to maximal mode,the usercontrols to be automatically adjusted .How can I do that?I started with the idea to compute their width and height ,but I don't know how to create the new points. My pictures below show better:

this is in minimal mode:

how they look when I change it to maximal mode: enter image description here

how I would like to be usercontrols: enter image description here

Use Dock or Anchor property for this.

Eg. groupBox1.Dock = DockStyle.Top;

MSDN For Dock:

MSDN For Anchor:

You should use Anchor property of controls, and can set it even from Property Window of VisualStudio in design time.

another option, that by the way can be used in conjuction with Anchor is use of TableLayoutPanel
