What is the content of the panel that is so important to rotate? — musefan, Mar 19 '13 at 12:42
what are you rotating? Do you want to rotate drawings on the panel or you want to rotate its controls? — Nikola Davidovic, Mar 19 '13 at 12:44
I have multiple checkBoxes and I need to rotate this when user click in this option — Ladessa, Mar 19 '13 at 12:47
@illDev: do checkboxes have to be rotated too? do you limited with winforms only, or you can built-in WPF control in your winforms application? — Dennis, Mar 19 '13 at 12:52
You must work with locations of the controls, you can't use some sort of matrix to rotate. You'll need to recalculate new locations and set them like ckeckBox1.Location = new Point(newX, newY); — Nikola Davidovic, Mar 19 '13 at 12:58
@NikolaDavidovic The position is not the problem. The problem is rotate... — Ladessa, Mar 19 '13 at 12:59
You can owner draw the controls so that they are rotated but FYI it won't be easy. — Nikola Davidovic, Mar 19 '13 at 13:30
Do the CheckBoxes have any text? I see no text in the attached image. If yes, do you need to rotate the texts? — Mohammad Dehghan, Mar 19 '13 at 13:38
Yes, what I need is rotate the Checkboxes...I mean that rotate the panel with they is easist than rotate all checkboxes...Yes, they have texts — Ladessa, Mar 19 '13 at 13:41

As far as I know, there is no way to rotate a panel in WinForms.

To rotate objects on a form, I've always had to use WPF.

The specific part about rotation is in part 3 on data binding.

I have downloaded a sample code ..but I not quite understood..Can you help me? – Ladessa Mar 19 '13 at 13:21
Which part specifically are you having trouble with? Keep in mind that this is not traditional winform application development, and you must utilize the XAML to really take advantage of the additional features in WPF. – bkempert Mar 19 '13 at 13:31
In source which I have downloaded, has a game...In this game the panel rotate...but in this sample have multiple concepts from WPF and it's confused for beginners ...I need only rotate a panel ;S – Ladessa Mar 19 '13 at 13:35
@illDev Well, you need to *learn* WPF first. – Mohammad Dehghan Mar 19 '13 at 15:22
@illDev It will be difficult for you to understand all of the differences between WPF and winforms if you don't take the time to learn them. The rotation feature is part of XAML. – bkempert Mar 19 '13 at 16:55
