why not just also resize the panel in code

The panel isn't set to dock (and doesn't fill the form).

just thought that if I set the anchor settings for the panel, and then changed the size of the form in code, the anchor settings for the panel would be honored, but they're not.

OK, I saw it doesn't dock, but I thought it anchored to the four edges still.

Yeah, that's odd, they should be.

I've heard that C# actually performs string comparisons quicker if both are upper cased

You should put whatever value you are matching on as the key in the dictionary, so that you don't have to loop through them.

A dictionary uses hash codes to quickly find items by key, so that is very much faster than looping through the data.

I've never heard that. Case-sensetive culture-invariant comparison is faster than case-insensetive culture-dependent comparison, if that is what you mean.
