Change the location of an object programmatically

Question

I ve tried the following code     this balancePanel Location X   this optionsPanel Location X    to change the location of a panel that I made in design mode while the program is running but it returns an error       Cannot modify the return value of  System Windows Forms Control Location  because it is not a variable    So how can I do it

Use either   balancePanel Left   optionsPanel Location X    or  balancePanel Location   new Point optionsPanel Location X  balancePanel Location Y     See the documentation of Location      Because the Point class is a value type  Structure in Visual Basic    struct in Visual C    it is returned by value  meaning accessing the   property returns a copy of the upper-left point of the control  So    adjusting the X or Y properties of the Point returned from this   property will not affect the Left  Right  Top  or Bottom property   values of the control  To adjust these properties set each property   value individually  or set the Location property with a new Point

When the parent panel has locked property set to true  we could not change the location property and the location property will act like read only by that time

The Location property has type Point which is a struct   Instead of trying to modify the existing Point  try assigning a new Point object    this balancePanel Location   new Point       this optionsPanel Location X       this balancePanel Location Y

You need to pass the whole point to location  var point   new Point 50  100   this balancePanel Location   point

If somehow balancePanel won t work  you could use this   this Location   new Point 127  283     or  anotherObject Location   new Point 127  283

Location is a struct  If there aren t any convenience members  you ll need to reassign the entire Location   this balancePanel Location   new Point      this optionsPanel Location X      this balancePanel Location Y     Most structs are also immutable  but in the rare  and confusing  case that it is mutable  you can also copy-out  edit  copy-in   var loc   this balancePanel Location  loc X   this optionsPanel Location X  this balancePanel Location   loc    Although I don t recommend the above  since structs should ideally be immutable
