Windows Forms Layout Engines

Does anyone have or know best practices for implementing a custom layout engine in WinForms? I've seen the windowsclient.net link, but it's a bit dated (Sept 2001).

You can always check out DevExpress Layout Control. It's not free but it is an eye opener.

When I tried to do custom layout engine in WinForms, I was blocked by the fact that IArrangedElement interface is internal. It looks stupid, but it seems you can't get layout properties in a uniform way unless you develop System.Windows.Forms itself.
