  leftPanel.Controls.Add(label1);
We add the text box to the top panel:

  topPanel.Controls.Add(textBox1);
And the button is assigned to the bottom panel:

  bottomPanel.Controls.Add(button1);
Finally, we need to add the base panel to the Windows form:

  this.Controls.Add(basePanel);

  Application.Run(new MultiplePanelResizeMe.MultiplePanelForm());
You should get the following form:
