Can't you start maximized?

Set the System.Windows.Forms.Form.WindowState property to FormWindowState.Maximized

The application forms have no resolution. The form takes a portion of the screen. It would be a mess if resizing a form would change the scale of the controls. So what you need do do is to think in layout and not in position of the controls. WPF is giving you better tools, but in windows forms you have some impossibilities:
Docking[^], autsizing[^] and anchors[^]
Flow layout[^] and Table layout[^]
But of course you can set window position[^] to, automatically[^] if you need.
