How do I create Forms that behave like the Visual Studio layout?

[Michael]

You'll notice that forms in the Visual Studio interface automatically
resize when a form is deleted or resized, or when a new form is added.
Is there a simple way to accomplish this? (the SplitContainer will not
accomplish this behavior). Thanks for your help.

I' m not really shure what you mean.
But may be this http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/WinForms/XtraBars/Features.xml
(look for DockPanels) is what you want.

Do you mean resizing at runtime or design time?

For runtime, resizing is handled by form's size properties and
resize(+begin+end) event(s). It would be useful to provide more
information about the issue.
