Controlling the exact position of a control on a WinForms TableLayoutPanel

I need the grid-like structure at the back of my main form, so using the TableLayoutPanel. Now, I need to place controls at "exact locations" on this panel. How can I achieve that ? I know how to put a control inside a cell, specifying the row & column#, but is there a way of managing rowspan, columnspan, and margins like in WPF grid ?

One more thing. I am hosting the TableLayoutPanel inside another Panel, and that 2nd Panel is basically inside a WindowsFormsHost in a WPF project.

This is how my TableLayoutPanel looks right now:

You can add Panel to Cell then add Button to Panel controls and set top and left for Button. 

Panel panel = new Panel();
Button button = new Button();

panel.Controls.Add(button);
panel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
button.Top = 5;
button.Left = 5;

tableLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(panel, 0,0);
tableLayoutPanel.SetColumnSpan(panel,2);
tableLayoutPanel.SetRowSpan(panel,2);
