Stop anchored controls from moving when resizing the form in the designer

Is there a way to resize a form in the designer without moving any anchored controls? I am using winforms in Visual Studio 2010.

You have to know when it is okay to cheat. Open the form's Designer.cs file and edit the this.ClientSize property assignment. That changes the form size but doesn't affect the Location of controls anchored to the right or bottom.

You can try this ... keep all the controls to default (i.e. Top, Left) as you are in design view and then anchor them in the code in the form_load / activate event.
