"Comparison of SmartLayouts with the .NET built-in layout managers"

SmartLayouts is a powerful layout manager for Windows forms on the .NET platform to ease the design and development of GUI. It helps in arranging various winforms GUI elements and controls the behaviour of those elements when the form is resized or repositioned. GUI designing is often unnecessarily time-consuming and annoying part of software development. Good layout would require manual coding for repositioning and resizing of controls for various resolutions. if you need to change your GUI in the long run, your work increases exponentially. .NET built-in layout managers are insufficient for any professional GUI development. SmartLayouts fills the gap left by .NET platform. Unlike many similar solutions, it is natural and unobtrusive. Your form design flow remains same and adding SmartLayouts to your form is very easy. The result is resolution-independent, maintainable GUI within the least possible time.
