Answer 1

if you look at your file in VS you can see a little "+" sign next to them and open that and the designer. there you will find the InitializeComponent method that start the controls you've put in your form

the InitializeComponent is generated by the VS according to the control you've put in your form when designed the form

for example if my form is look like this:

then InitializeComponent will be:

  private void InitializeComponent()
  {
     this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
     this.SuspendLayout();
     // 
     // button1
     // 
     this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(85, 36);
     this.button1.Name = "button1";
     this.button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
     this.button1.TabIndex = 0;
     this.button1.Text = "MY BTN";
     this.button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
     // 
     // Form1
     // 
     this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
     this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
     this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(284, 262);
     this.Controls.Add(this.button1);
     this.Name = "Form1";
     this.Text = "Form1";
     this.ResumeLayout(false);
