  You need to use a Forms designer for your problem.

  private void textBox1_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

  {

  if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)

  {

  //Get current X and Y

  int x = e.X;

  int y =e.Y;

  //get deltax and deltay

  textBox1.Left += (x-deltaX);

  textBox1.Top += (y-deltaY);

  }

  }

  private void textBox1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

  {

  deltaX = e.X;

  deltaY = e.Y;

  }

  Do you want to do it something like the VS.net designer

  If not,you can set the Location property and Size property at any point of time.

  You can-

  private void textBox1_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

  {

  if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)

  {

  //Get current X and Y

  int x = e.X;

  int y =e.Y;

  //get deltax and deltay

  textBox1.Left += (x-deltaX);

  textBox1.Top += (y-deltaY);

  textBox1.Height += y-deltaY;

  textBox1.Width += x-deltaX;

  }

  }

  This is some skeleton code,which I hope will get you going!!

  i will give a scenario, while at run time is it possible to drag a control (TextBox, label...) to another position, and also resize them.

  sorry for delayed reply. Actually resize i was looking is different. i mean it should be like how it behaves in design time. (ie) in design time u will select a textbox and on the rightbottom u will select and resize it, the same behaviour is expected in the runtime also for controls.
