I generally create sub controls in the constructor, another place you
can do it is in the Loaded event.
You will have to handle resizing anyway since your control can be
resized both in the IDE and at run time.

No this is not really true. I would use 'self' as the owner, then you
don't have to worry about destroying the controls later.
