Basic form problem

Hi,

I'm working through some documentation trying to learn vb.net and came
across the following code snippet:

form1.location = new point(200,200)

If I enter this within form1 code I get an error (and intellisense doesn't
offer the property) however if I enter 'me.location =....' everything works
fine.

Why does a reference to form1 fail in this instance?

Regards,

Simon,

"me" in VBNet means "my"

So when you are in a class you use "me"

I hope that this gives an idea
