  I would use 4 panels in the following way:
  1) one up (this is the extra panel that is not in your example). Set the Dock property to this one to Top and set the Height to whatever you want.
  2) The Green panel will be inside the panel one. Set the Dock property to Left and set the Width to whatever you want
  3) The Bleu panel also inside the panel one. Set the Dock property to Fill.
  4) The fourth panel (the Red one) comes bottom (as child of the form) with Dock set to Fill. (this is also a difference to your example)
  

  
  The rest of the things are the same.
  What we have accomplished with the fourth panel ? The fact that the Height of the Blue/Green panels is fixed to the height of the Panel One, so no coding is necessary to keep the height fix.
  

  
  The only problem left is that the Width of the Green panel is fixed and when the form is made wider it does not resize. So the only code necesary is to make the
  Green panel wider according with the width of the form.
  

  
  Best regards,
  Dan

  It is difficult to design fairly complicated forms by simply using anchors and docks. .Net provides two layout manager Flow layout panel and Table Layout Panel. However you need to use a good layout manager for professional form designing, e.g. SmartLayouts .
