Windows Forms re-arranging elements in table layout panel

I am developing a POS system in .net with windows forms as the GUI. I am facing a very peculiar problem with one window in my app.

(Note : Application is compiled for .net 4 framework and as a windows forms project. I am using a table layout to arrange all the elements in the form).

Given below is the screenshot of the form in Visual Studio.

Following is the screenshot in my system (Windows 8 Pro, DELL Full HD monitor).

Now I am building the executable files and DLL's and copying them into my dad's system (Windows 7, 1440 X 900 monitor). The application runs successfully but the output is shown below.

Application running in my dad's system

Two things have changed.

  1. The Start-Date and End-Date labels and calendars both have swapped (I tested this functionally too. The start date cannot be later than the end date, if so an error is given. I have checked by this, and the calendars are swapped too.)

  2. The format of the Dates being displayed is changed.

NOTE : I have such minor problems in other windows too.

Has anyone ever come across such problem?

I found out the solution.

The windows designer generated code is added the controls in the tablelayoutpanel object in a wrong way.

The windows designer panel is adding controls to the tablelayoutpanel into the same cell.

Ex : Incorrect Code

this.tableLayoutPanel5.Controls.Add(this.tbInvoice, 0, 0);
this.tableLayoutPanel5.Controls.Add(this.label4, 0, 0);

Correct Code

this.tableLayoutPanel5.Controls.Add(this.tbInvoice, 1, 0);
this.tableLayoutPanel5.Controls.Add(this.label4, 0, 0);

Solution : Re-arrange the controls in the panel by removing them or moving them into a separate table and then moving them back.
