Use the Properties Window (.NET)

The Properties window is used to change the properties of files in the current project or solution, as well as Windows forms and controls that are placed on a Windows form.

Select the file or object (Windows form or control) that you want to modify. This displays its properties in the Properties window. Select the property in the grid of the Properties window that you want to change, and then enter or select a new value based on the selected property.
