Form Layout Type?

Is there a way to define the form layout like in Java? Like I want to align objects according to NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, CENTER so that they can resize and match according to size of the resized window? Like having things "sticking" to the side/border of the window?

Is the "anchor" property in .NET the only way to achieve this?

The Anchor and docking properties are what you are going to need to use. If your having trouble, post specifically what your having trouble with and I will see if I can help you.
