Intellisense and Label.PreferredWidth property

Just out of curiosity, why doesn't the Label.PreferredWidth property
show up under intellisense when I'm coding in VB?

I've noticed in the past that VS must have some rules or another for
deciding what members to show for an object with intellisense, but I've
never been able to make heads or tails of what those rules are.

It also seems to block members (like PreferredWidth) that I'd like to
see - I only found out about the PreferredWidth property from help!

Thanks,

Erik

You know, I've never understood why MS added this *feature* in the first
place. Do they just assume that we're all morons and can't handle some of
the *more advanced* properties? It's rather insulting.

Maybe Microsoft assumes that VB .NET programmers are all beginners.
