C# Express Beta??

Is this Beta supposed to work or is it just a framework ? I created a new
project. I then created a form and placed a label on it. But I cannot change
the size of the label or for that matter change any of properties. I wanted
to use this Beta to try real development but I guess that is not it’s
intended purpose. Is this right, or am I doing something wrong?

You should be able to do development with the beta (though it is a
beta, and there might be some unexpected problems). Are you getting an
error message? Perhaps you could show us what you are trying to do by
posting some code?

Even thought there are a few issues with them, the betas run amazingly well
from products that are not due to be realeased for another 6 months. Did you
try just dragging the label's border in the designer?

I have used the Express Beta for developing a number of projects. It works
well, but there are a few bugs. I believe the label does not respond to
resizing by dragging, even though the resizing handles are exposed.
However, you can resize using the properties sheet for the label (left click
on the label, select "properties"). Turn off autoSize (else it sized to the
text in the label). Then you can explicitly set the size in the property
sheet.
