C# Tutorial: Add Draggable Auto-Aligning Buttons to Your C# Programs

You have a Windows Forms project and you want to be able to drag buttons to change the layout around at runtime. And, what’s more, you want the buttons to auto-arrange themselves after you’ve dragged them.

The auto-arranging part is easy. I’ve shown in previous videos how you can use a WinForms flowLayoutPanel to do that. I’ve also previously shown how to drag controls on a form. What isn’t so easy is combining draggable controls with a flowable layout. In this video, I show you everything you need to do in order to make this work.
