Cant resize win forms TableLayoutPanel after project save or other changes

I am encountering an problem with TableLayoutPanel. I have configured that my size of table columns and rows are mostly dynamic, but the dynamic scaling isn't working after I have saved or done other changes(Can't say when exactly this problem started) and I am trying to resize the table borders. My configuration for my table is shown below: example1 http://dl.dropbox.com/s/4ayi073x6xfxokb/configuration.jpg

No change example(the white square is just photoediting..):

example2 http://dl.dropbox.com/s/08zhm19264r3qzf/original.jpg

With border resize example:

example3 http://dl.dropbox.com/s/gelxjb8s2ip5bzj/after.jpg

Here it should have scaled accordingly to the resized borders, but it doesn't. I could not find an answer in google that was near to my situation, but what am I doing wrong, because the first time when i was creating and resizing the table, it was working perfectly as i wanted.

Added the designer.cs code for the TableLayoutPanel:

    // 
    // tableLayoutPanel2
    // 
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.ColumnCount = 5;
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Absolute, 50F));
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 25F));
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 25F));
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 25F));
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.ColumnStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 25F));
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.buttonFirstClockSecondDay_Type_A, 3, 1);
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.textBox1, 1, 0);
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.textBox2, 2, 0);
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.label5, 0, 1);
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.label1, 0, 3);

    this.tableLayoutPanel2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(382, 56);
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.Name = "tableLayoutPanel2";
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.RowCount = 9;
    this.tableLayoutPanel2.RowStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.RowStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Absolute, 25F));

For some reason after reloading the solution it works again. It is a mystery why it did not work before..

The first picture has drag handles which indicates it was taken at design-time.

The second picture does NOT have drag handles which means it was taken at run-time? Did you change the size of the FORM?

To make the TableLayoutPanel change size with the Form you need to either:

  1. Use the Anchor() property of the TableLayoutPanel and turn ON all four sides.

  2. Set the Dock() property of the TableLayoutPanel to Fill.

Which is a better approach depends on your overall Form layout, which we cannot see.
