You could do something like this:

Point newLoc = new Point(5,5); // Set whatever you want for initial location
for(int i=0; i < 10; ++i)
{
    Button b = new Button();
    b.Size = new Size(10, 50);
    b.Location = newLoc;
    newLoc.Offset(0, b.Height + 5);
    Controls.Add(b);
}

If you want them to layout in any sort of reasonable fashion it would be better to add them to one of the layout panels (i.e. FlowLayoutPanel) or to align them yourself.
