Hi, I want to set my textBox to be autosize. But I can't find the autosize attribute in the Properties. Is there anything wrong with my visual studio. My version is Visual Studio 2005. Thank you

Do you want your text box to resize as the form resizes? If so, the anchor properties will do that automatically for you.

Or are you trying to resize the text box to the size of its contents?

Even through the property does not appear in the Properties window or in Intellisense (that I can see), it compiles if you just type it in:

However, it does not appear to work at one might think it does. It does not resize the textbox width, it resizes the height based on the font. This is from the documentation:

"Gets or sets a value indicating whether the height of the control automatically adjusts when the font assigned to the control is changed. "

Also - if you want to write code to automatically size the textbox width, check out the Graphics.MeasureString method.

Hi DeborahK

I have tried your method but it doesn't work either. Can you give me any advise to get the size of the form? I think I can compute the size of every component by this. Thanks.
