When you adjust the form layout there are several things you can do:
- Decide where to put the three key elements of a BD: criteria, results and info panel. You have three places you can put them: top panel, bottom panel or side panel.
- You decide if the user can resize the BD. And you can set the size by simply resizing the formlayout dialog that opens.
- You can initially show the bottom panel or side panel.
I highly recommend that you make a little sample app so you can play around with the settings to see what they do and spark your imagination. Remember you can look at the designer file to see how to programatically setup the BD.
As to resource files, they usually are under files they are associated with. They contains things like position of a component on the design surface (design time) and icons/images/other resources that are embedded directly in a file. They are an XML file and VS has a UI to manipulate them and/or does it automatically when you move a component on the design surface or set an image on a control and use a local resource.
