Placing Controls on Form
1. First way is, if you double-click a control on the Toolbox, Visual Studio places an instance of the control on the form in a default location and at a default size.
Then you can use the mouse to relocate and resize the control.

The new cursor looks like a plus sign with a small image of the control's Toolbox icon next to it. If you click the form, Visual Studio adds a control at that location with a default size.
