Hi Neil!

Thanks for that code - I am on the right lines but I still can't get my head round it - I can set the default on other properties just fine. I am missing something simple with this one...

I created a C# project ( my first :) ) to see your code working but it I could not build it - "D:\VSDotNet\WindowsApplication2\Form1.cs(81): The name '_testSize' does not exist in the class or namespace 'WindowsApplication2.Form1'"

I soon started getting little red squiggles everywhere as I tried to dim a private variable :)

Thanks anyway! I'll get there!
