Remarks

This property enables you to limit the size of a form to a specified minimum size. You can use this feature to prevent a user from sizing a window to an undesirable size. If this property is set to a Size object that is 0 in height and 0 in width, the form will have no minimum size beyond the limits set by Windows.

Maximum of MinimumSize
Found that a MinimumSize value larger than current working area (screen size minus taskbar, ...) is automatomatically reduced to the size of the working area in runtime mode. Which is a reasonable behaviour but not documented above yet.
