Change Form Size [solved]

I am trying to get my form to change size based on whether a checkbox is checked or not. this is my code but it says that

Code:

Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Size'.

I feel REALLY stupid not knowing this one. Anyone help?

Code:

    Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
        If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
            Me.Size = "437, 590"
        Else
            Me.Size = "437, 447"
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
Me.Size = New Point(437, 590)
Else
Me.Size = New Point(437, 447)
End If

Or you could do this

Code:

    Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
        If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
            Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(437, 590)
        Else
            Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(437, 447)
        End If
    End Sub

Another thing, you really don't need this in a timer. Just double click your checkbox and add the code there.

Actually, both are applicable. Both are 8-byte structures with 2 4-byte members.
