Now, I encounter a problem, And I want to deep understand the difference between size and height/width, and the difference between position and left/top. Such as the difference in each value, and the difference in which can change the control state when I revise it value without refresh.

Solution 1

The difference is simply that the Height / Width pair shadow the Size parameter: You can change one of them independantly of the other - you cannot do that with the Size property since you cannot change either the Size.Height or Size.Width - the setters are not exposed. So you can change either Hieght or Width independantly:

C#

myForm.Width = 200;
myForm.Height = 300;

or both together:

C#

myForm.Size = new Size(200, 300);

thank you, and I either don't understand which property need refresh control to really change the control.

Either will do - they both affect the controls size.
