private void myCustomTaskPane_DockPositionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane taskPane =
        sender as Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane;

    if (taskPane != null)
    {
        // Adjust sizes of user control and flow panel to fit current task pane size.
        MyUserControl userControl = taskPane.Control as MyUserControl;
        System.Drawing.Size paneSize = new System.Drawing.Size(taskPane.Width, taskPane.Height);
        userControl.Size = paneSize;
        userControl.FlowPanel.Size = paneSize;

        // Adjust flow direction of controls on the task pane.
        if (taskPane.DockPosition == 
            Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionTop ||
            taskPane.DockPosition ==
            Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionBottom)
        {
            userControl.FlowPanel.FlowDirection =
                System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.LeftToRight;
        }
        else
        {
            userControl.FlowPanel.FlowDirection =
                System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.TopDown;
        }
    }
}

Private Sub myCustomTaskPane_DockPositionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles myCustomTaskPane.DockPositionChanged

    Dim taskPane As Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane = _
        TryCast(sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane)

    If taskPane IsNot Nothing Then

        ' Adjust sizes of user control and flow panel to fit current task pane size.
        Dim userControl As MyUserControl = TryCast(taskPane.Control, MyUserControl)
        Dim paneSize As System.Drawing.Size = _
            New System.Drawing.Size(taskPane.Width, taskPane.Height)
        userControl.Size = paneSize
        userControl.FlowPanel.Size = paneSize

        ' Adjust flow direction of controls on the task pane.
        If taskPane.DockPosition = _
            Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionTop Or _
            taskPane.DockPosition = _
            Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionBottom Then

            userControl.FlowPanel.FlowDirection = _
                System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.LeftToRight
        Else
            userControl.FlowPanel.FlowDirection = _
                System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.TopDown
