C# Windows Programming: Lesson 2 - Controls/Properties [HD]

This tutorial describes the basics of properties and how to change them in both designer view and in real-time. This tutorial assumes only basic programming knowledge and is aimed toward the absolute beginner.

I compile my code with Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition. I record my videos with Hypercam 2 (now free), and I use Sony Vegas 7 to edit them.

Ok how can I change Form properties? For example how can I change Form1 width or height? I try Form1.Height =600 in the Form1_Load event but it gives me an error... I can't access any of the Form1 properties not only width and height

@Kayne921

In design mode, simply right-click the form and click "Properties."

@Kayne921 Actually, I should've been a little more specific. If you want to change Form1's properties during run-time (within code), you would enter the follow in the Form1 Load Event Handler:

this.Height = 600;
