Hello!

If I bring up the "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Documentation" and enter
Form class in the field "Look for" and
select all members for this Form class. The alternative "Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005 Documentation" is
selected from Start->Program->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005-> Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005 Documentation.

I know there exist a property named Size in the Form class but when I look
in the list all members for class Form this Size
property is missing.

So why is not the Size property included in the list for all members for
class Form?

So it seems to me that the documentation from "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Documentation" is just an extract
from the complete documentation.

So I assume if I want to get the complete documentation I have to use the
MSDN Library.

I have always thought that "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Documentation" is
always giving me the complete
documentation. Is this correct?

It's been awhile since I've used the local docs on a regular basis. But I
suspect that what you're seeing is that the docs show you only the members
defined by the class. Size is inherited from Control, and so would only
show up in a list that includes inherited members, not just those defined
by the class itself.

Hi,

I , contrary to Mark and Peter, do use the local help, always :)
I do not use F1 from VS, I have a shortcut to MSDN Library that install with
the VS. If you open it and type ni the "Look For" textbox Form.Size it does
find it alright.
