Controls receive default values for Padding that are reasonably close to Windows user interface guidelines. Some adjustments might still be necessary for particular applications.
All controls that implement GetPreferredSize are enlarged by the amount in Padding when AutoSize is true.

Controls that do not implement AutoSize through GetPreferredSize
Custom controls that directly inherit from Control
