Gets the frame's bounding rectangle relative to the upper left corner of the document.

### Syntax

```csharp
public Rectangle Bounds { get; }
```

```vbnet
Public ReadOnly Property Bounds As Rectangle
```

### Examples

The following example adds a callout frame and works with it through the common frame API by using `FrameBase.Bounds`.

```csharp
TextFrame callout = new(new System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) { Name = "Callout" };
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText);
FrameBase frameBase = callout;

Console.WriteLine($"Bounds: {frameBase.Bounds}");
Console.WriteLine("Frame Base is ready for use.");
```

```vbnet
Dim callout As New TextFrame(New System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) With { .Name = "Callout" }
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText)
Dim frameBase As FrameBase = callout

Console.WriteLine($"Bounds: {frameBase.Bounds}")
Console.WriteLine("Frame Base is ready for use.")
```
