Property Value

Type: System..::.Int32
An Int32 representing the distance, in pixels, between the bottom edge of the control and the top edge of its container's client area.

The value of this property is equal to the sum of the Top property value, and the Height property value.

The Bottom property is a read-only property. You can manipulate this property value by changing the value of the Top or Height properties or calling the SetBounds, SetBoundsCore, UpdateBounds, or SetClientSizeCore methods.

The following code example uses the Bottom property to define the lower limit of a TextBox control relative to the client area of the container.

' that a TextBox control, named textBox1, has been added to the form and its KeyUp
