title: What is the .NET Control.Margin property for?
body: <p>I assumed that the C# margin property had a meaning like in CSS - the spacing around the outside of the control. But Margin values seem to be ignored to matter what values I enter.</p>
  
  <p>Then I read on the SDK: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Setting the Margin property on a
    docked control has no effect on the
    distance of the control from the the
    edges of its container.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Given that I'm placing controls on forms, and perhaps docking them, what does the Margin property get me?</p>
