This.Left

[joshp1217]

Can anyone tell me how exactly does this "this.Left" method work in conjunction with a form or user control?

It returns the x coordinate of the control's left edge. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Gets or sets the distance, in pixels, between the left edge of the control and the left edge of its container's client area. Seems pretty straight forward to me

It basically gives the distance of the left edge of your control to the left edge of the container e.g. form,panel etc on which your control is lying. Regards, Wasif Ehsan.

It's not a method at all. It is a property (a pair of methods in this case). You can use ildasm.exe to understand how it works exactly. It returns a value of the "x" field of the control when you get it. And it calls SetBounds(...) method when you set it. -- modified at 15:15 Monday 10th July, 2006
