The easiest way to do this is to dock the controls to the form. From the Form Designer (in Visual Studio.NET), select a control, and then adjust the "Dock" attribute in the Properties view. You are presented with a diagram to select how you want the control to dock to the parent. Do this for all the controls on the form, and they will resize with the parent form.
