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

This is the compiler error:

The basic problem is that the MinimumSize member property returns a struct - which is a value type - and so is copied into a local temporary variable - and this prevents you from writing a value back to the underlying property.

To get around this, you need to assign to MinimumSize itself:

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