The Windows Forms designer is getting all grown up now. The picture below is a feature that you would have seen in earlier BETA versions of Visual Studio 2005, but I thought I would post up about it anyway.

ControlAlignment

This feature allows you to drag controls onto the design surface and they get spaced (from the border and from each other) according to some Windows UI guidelines. This is great because I see so many applications that don’t make the effort to get little things like this right and they come off looking half baked.
