In the moment the constructor of the base class is left, the layout and the controls are perfect for a Form1 instance - but that's not what we want. The method InitializeComponent() of class Form2 contains the code that is necessary to achieve the desired layout by tweaking the base form and adding the second button. While setting the Text property to "Form2" is rather trivial, setting the ClientSize property causes serious trouble. The problem is that the size is set while the layout logic is suspended; i.e. the size of the form is changed, but the anchored elements of the base class are not updated.

Question: So why does docking work, but not anchoring?

Docking tells a control to grab as much space as possible (for top/bottom/left/right: towards to the specified direction) until a border of the container is reached. When the size of the control's container changes, the border is moving, so the docked control will resize itself accordingly.
Anchoring tells a control to keep a constant distance between a specified border (top/bottom/left/right) of the control and the corresponding border of the container at all times. Now if the container is resized while layout is suspended (which is the case in InitializeComponent() of class Form2), the anchored control does not notice the change. When layout is resumed, the control will keep the distance that exists at this time. This can be observed if you resize the form either inside the forms designer or at run time. The anchoring works perfectly, but unfortunately using the wrong offsets...
