Classes that inherit from Form can override this method to provide new bounds for the form when it is maximized. The class sets this property internally when the form's Maximize button is clicked.

Incorrect Documentation      Aboveyou00   |   Edit   |   Show History
This documentation is NOT correct. It says that "Classes that inherit from Form can override this method to provide new bounds for the form when it is maximized." However, you cannot override this member because it is "not marked as virtual, abstract, or override" (in the words of Visual Studio 2010.)

I hope that this will be fixed in a later version of the .net framework.
