DevExpress WinForms Layout Management — form layout and docking controls: LayoutControl (free/flow/table layout modes, groups, tabbed groups, size constraints, runtime customization), DataLayoutControl (data-source-driven auto-generated editor layout, RetrieveFields, DataAnnotations), DockManager with DockPanel (VS-style docking, floating panels, auto-hide, tab groups, DockingStyle, DockAsTab), StackPanel, and TablePanel (Absolute/AutoSize/Relative sizing, RowSpan/ColumnSpan). Covers NuGet (DevExpress.Win.Navigation, DevExpress.Utils), namespaces (DevExpress.XtraLayout, DevExpress.XtraDataLayout, DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking, DevExpress.Utils.Layout), authoring layouts in the .Designer.cs file (InitializeComponent), building layouts in code (AddItem, AddGroup, AddTabbedGroup), and saving/restoring layouts (SaveLayoutToXml/Json, WorkspaceManager). Use for any WinForms layout, form arrangement, or docking scenario; for a form generated from a table/class use DataLayoutControl.
