@KMan: I don't think this is necessarily an aspect ratio issue. One might prefer that the controls scale to fit the form's current size, rather than locking in a particular aspect ratio. – Cody Gray - on strike Jan 04 '11 at 08:00

Use Anchor Property of the Control. Default Anchor is Top,Left. If you want Control Width to increase with Form, Set it to Top, Left, Right. Adjust the Anchors according to your requirement.

You have many options in terms of layout of controls. Anchoring is the most common way, but you should also investigate docking and table layout panels.
