Apply anchor for Winform Controls

Question

In my Winform application, Contains a Two Panels, One is Above and another one is Below(like One by one).

Both Panels contains DataGridView. DataGridview is docked(Fill) in the Panels.

So when I run my application , I need to expand or compress my form..

at the time both the panels needs to be expand as well as compress.

My Form

If gave anchor(Bottom, Left, Right) for both panels, Then expanding form, it will be like this First Modification

If gave anchor(Top, Left, Right) for first panel and anchor(), Then expanding form, it will be like this(i can't able to post more than 2 links)

I tried:

Panel1 => Top,Right,Left
Panel2 => Bottom ,Right,Left

or

Panel1 => Right,Left
Panel2=> Right,Left

or

etc..

I tried like this. Once I change anything it will overlap others.... but ... .

The problem is, Panels are responsible, when i expanding form and compressing form. But the alignment will changes every time. I want to make the panels gets bigger when expanding and get smaller when compressing the form. Don't overlaps one to another. It simply expand and compress.

how to I do that. Helps appreciated

Consider using a SplitContainer, it's used exactly for what you are describing.
