Note

The Properties window can be configured to display its content by category or alphabetically using the

first two buttons mounted beneath the drop-down list box. I’d suggest that you sort the items alphabetically to

quickly find a given property or event.

The next designer element to be aware of is the Solution Explorer window. While all Visual

Studio projects support this window, when you are building Windows Forms applications, it is

especially helpful in that you can (1) quickly change the name of the file and related class for any

window and (2) view the file that contains the designer-maintained code (more information on

this tidbit in just a moment). For now, simply right-click the Form1.cs icon and select the Rename

option. Name this initial window to the more fitting MainWindow.cs. Figure 27-7 shows the end result.

The Solution Explorer window allows you to rename your Form-derived type and the

related files.
