Quick question....

How should I determine whether code used to confiure the layout of a form
should be placed in the form constructor or in the form load event??

I wish there were a good reference that described the complete lifecycle of
a form (order of events, etc.).

Thanks!!

Try the Layout event?

Why not read the documentation for 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' and all
of its events/methods/properties?

Thanks, Brian. That is exactly what I was hoping to learn.
