How to Use the Visual Studio LinkArea Editor to Change Windows Forms LinkLabel LinkArea Property
(Upload attempt #3. For some reason, Dailymotion isn't encoding this video as 1080p even though it is and this upload was H.265/HEVC at 15 Mbps.)
Do you want to change the Windows Forms LinkLabel LinkArea property at design time for a linklabel that doesn't update in code but you don't want to actually write the code to do it? Well, the LinkArea Editor is found in Visual Studio 2015 Community and it should help with this! It works by allowing you to highlight the part of the label that you want to have act as a link.
Here's the article I showed in the video:

Here's the link I mentioned in the video for my application launcher:

If you're wondering how I found the LinkArea Editor, I just noticed the "..." button at the right side of the LinkArea property and clicked on it to see what it did. Because it looked very useful and I didn't know about it before, I decided to make this video in case other people didn't know about it either.
