Where is the information stored about the exact position of e.g. a button on a form ?

[Mark Poppers]

Assume I position a button on a Form on position (x,y)=20,75pixel

Where (in which file) is this information stored ?

If you are using Visual Studio 2005, the designer writes this
information into the source code in Form1.designer.vb. To see this file from
solution explorer, you will have to click the "show all files" button,
otherwise it is hidden.

Ooops! I meant, obviously, .cs instead of .vb. Sorry.

If you're looking to get the info via code, then you can use the Location
property of the item.

Point p = Button1.Location;
TextBox1.Text = p.ToString();

this will put "{X = 45, Y=45}" in the textbox. If you need to compare the
actual X or Y entry the use p.X or p.Y properties and assign to an int.
