Use

The Column and Row properties are read-only at design-time and run-time, they are static and do not change when you move, hide, clear or resize controls in Designer.

TIP!

Only controls generated from an underlying host form, in other words controls that correspond to application fields, have values for these properties. Inserted controls will always have a row and column value of 0.
