Are the Controls all added to the ControlCollection of the Form, or are they in another ContainerControl, like a Panel ?

What are the settings of the Controls Anchor and Dock properties now ?

You want the Controls to stay the same size, but remain visible: correct ?

Winforms doesn't do that well when you resize all it's controls - it can enlarge or shrink a button or a text box for example, but it won't change the text size it uses, which can make it look a bit silly.

However, what you probably want to do is fix some controls relative to the edges or the form, and resize the image:

iiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiii
ttttt b b

becomes:

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
tttttttttttttt b b

In which case, look at the Anchor property of each control:
Image should be Top, Left, Bottom, and Right
TextBox should be Left, Bottom and Right
the two buttons should be Bottom and Right only.

Try it: you'll see what I mean.
