Set minimum window size in C# .NET

Question

I am having trouble setting the minimum size of my window in a C# application I am working on. I have tried this code in the form\'s constructor:

this.Minim         


        

Answer 1

You need to assign directly to the MinimumSize property:

this.MinimumSize = new Size(800, 600);

Basically, the return value of the MinimumSize property is always a new struct object; the compiler doesn't let you assign to this temporary value (as stated in the error, it's not a variable).

This MSDN Social thread is most enlightening about the subject.
