I'm building a simple graphics User Control to plot data in an application. To be able to scale as good as possible i would like the control to determine it's size after layed out on my winform. The controls formpart is used for plotting, and at designtime you can stretch the control area as you wish. Probably there is a simple solution on this , but i have googled a lot and havent found the solution yet. Is that possible, or am i trying to do something foolish?

    Override the OnResize method to get the new size of the control.

    I am not sure what you are asking but perhaps you are looking for ClientSize.Height and ClientSize.Width.

    I forget the difference between the Resize Event and the SizeChanged Event but I am nearly certain that the Resize Event fires multiple times during a resize and the SizeChanged Event fires after the resize is complete. You can redraw the user control during the resize or you can wait and resize only once.
