Hi,
have got to make this panel which contains a lot of group controls and I have run out of height on the winform..I tried using the scrollable panel docked to the form but no good (although it did allow some scrolling...how do I get a scrollable panel at design time where I can load all these controls?

In general, there is no need for 2 panels. You can directly add the ScrollablePanel to the form, enlarge it along with the form, arrange the controls and when you make it small again the scrollbars will appear.
I hope this will be useful.

I tried that and the 1 scrollable panel was limited to the maximum height of the form when the form was fully expanded...couldn't expand it past that....but...while the first scrollable panel was limited to the height of the form (i.e could not expand the panel outside the maximum height of the form...1070 in my case.... and have it scroll at design time) the 2nd scrollable panel(child) of the first scrollable was not... so the scrollbars came up on the parent to allow me to scroll in design time and yet expand the surface outside the maximum height of the form to add more controls and containers and view them at design time.
I know it is not good policy to have so many controls in 1 line but it's the client's request.
Actually, there is no reason not to use two panels and this would not have any performance impact. So I think it is OK to use this approach since it suits your case.
