It seems like a strange convenience property, only saving one character. Is there some important difference between using SizeX and Size.X? And why is there a SizeX property, but not a LocationX property?

The documentation does not mention any particular difference.

    Is there some important difference between using SizeX and Size.X?

    When it doubt, take a look at it with reflector or equivalent tool. The Size property does this:

    if (IsEmpty)
{
    return Size3D.Empty;
}
return new Size3D(this._sizeX, this._sizeY, this._sizeZ);

    And SizeX does:

    return this._sizeX;

    They are both based off of the private field _sizeX, so no, the value of them will always be the same. It’s just a way of getting different data structures to better suit your needs.

    And why is there a SizeX property, but not a LocationX property?

    There are properties for location, they are Location.X and just X, both of which use the private field _x. it just doesn’t follow the same naming convetion as Size.
