Visual Studio 2008 Designer ToolStrip changes locations of toolstrips after recompiling

Hi,

I have a form application written in Visual Studio 2008. It has a toolstripcontainer with 3 ToolStrips on it. The locations for the toolstrips are set in InitialComponent() like so:
this.ToolStrip1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(56, 0);
this.ToolStrip2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(263, 0);
this.ToolStrip3.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(578, 0);

However, after viewing the designer, these values are automatically being reset to these default values:
this.ToolStrip1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(40, 50);
this.ToolStrip2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(11, 25);
this.ToolStrip3.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(3, 0);

What's going on here? Does this happen in VS 2010 as well?

Regards,

Do you have any anchoring or docking setup?

So you think it's due to anchoring? I believe I tried this one time and it didn't work. What I'm doing is I'm manually positioning them in the designer where I want them. I was thinking that anchoring or docking would affect this.

Do you open the form in maximized size? Many things can affect this including anchoring.
