How do I resize a user control at compile time?

[Manoj V Gokhale]

How do I resize a user control at compile time or move it for that matter? I think one of the properties is the problem. I am trying to mimic a web button in a usercontrol

when I try to resize my user control which is just a button it gives compile time error object reference not found following is the code. It allows me to place the buttonUC at compile time on the form but when I try to resize the buttonUC or try to move buttonUC it gives the error "object reference not found"

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Security.AccessControl;
using System.Drawing.Text;
namespace win2webUC
{
public partial class ButtonUC : UserControl
{
public ButtonUC()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
