I'm using VS 2015 Community edition. I've started a brand new project and am looking at the Forms Designer. The default form 1 is located in the upper left corner.
I want to move it to the center of the screen.
I can't.
Properties starting position is set to center screen.
I've checked all instances of the lock controls that I can find and the form is not locked.
I've even tried editing the x,y location values in the form properties.
Nothing will get this form to move from the position that it is currently anchored in.
I can resize it, but I can't move it.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

I develop a WinForm app in Visual Studio 2019, but there is an annoying problem:
When I place a controller / tool on my Form and released the mouse button, VS puts it somwehere other place.
I want it here:
VS puts it here (after release the mouse button):
Is there any solution for this?
I don't know why this happens, but you can use keyboard keys after adding tool from toolbox to change its location
I'm trying to create a form that always stays on top to show information but doesn't prevent the user from clicking on something in the window behind that form. I want the form to be semi-transparent so that you can see and access what's behind it without moving or closing the window. I'm using Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2019.
This question has been asked before - 6 years ago but there is not a satisfying answer so I thought I'd bring it up again.

Click through-able form that stays always on top
I need quite simple help with Visual Studio in which I build my application based on WPF.
By accident, I closed the top window in which the designer was.
Currently, in both windows there is a code, and not as before in a single visual project.I spent over 30 minutes searching for a solution on Google, but I can not find anything. As it is now:
What is expected:
Thanks!
Based on some clarification in the comments of what you were looking for, once you're in the design view and you've closed the Design/XAML Split, you can reset the window by clicking one of the split/open icons in the bottom right hand corner of the window.
With the method you put into your answer, I believe that won't give you the other Designer options (like snapping controls to a grid, disabling/enabling rendering effects/etc) on the window.
Just found a solution:
1. Select the tab you want two copies of
2. Select menu Window → New Window from the menu.
3. Right click the new tab and select New Vertical Tab Group

I want the reports that I am designing (I am using SQL Server 2012) to be Landscape and identical in this regard (same page orientation, margins etc.).
Is there a way to set this automatically and to ensure that these constraints are not ignored in the Design pane (or that at least there is a greyed-out area within said pane as a visual cue?).

No. You can set the height and width of each report in the properties, but you will not get a visual cue in the design pane and there is no way to get one.
I'm developing a silverlight application with amChart's StockChart. I've met the following problem: if you add for example 50 points to the data source then scroller doesn't work, there is a gray part and a highlighted part on the scroller and you can't move hightlighted part. However if you add 500 points - scroller works perfectly. Also if I add 100 points then i'm unable to fully move the scroller to the left side.
I've developed an application which illustrates this problem. Here is the solution for VS 2010 (Also a bin folder contains ready to see app) http://www.4shared.com/file/KNUqnak5/AmChartIssue.html
