The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.MaximumSize%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.MinimumSize%2A> properties help set the minimum and maximum space a control can use.
## Margin and Padding
There are two control properties that help with precise placement of controls: <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Margin%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Padding%2A>.
The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Margin%2A> property defines the space around the control that keeps other controls a specified distance from the control's borders.
The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Padding%2A> property defines the space in the interior of a control that keeps the control's content (for example, the value of its <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Text%2A> property) a specified distance from the control's borders.
The following figure shows the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Margin%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Padding%2A> properties on a control.

The Visual Studio Designer will respect these properties when you're positioning and resizing controls. Snaplines appear as guides to help you remain outside the specified margin of a control. For example, Visual Studio displays the snapline when you drag a control next to another control:

## Automatic placement and size
Controls can be automatically placed within their parent. Some parent containers force placement while others respect control settings that guide placement. There are two properties on a control that help automatic placement and size within a parent: <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Dock%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Anchor>.
