Form overlaps taskbar when maximized

You've probably inadvertently changed one of the form's properties in the properties box - perhaps the StartPosition property.

If you're setting the location manually (the line you added), then you need:

this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
this.Location = new Point(0,0);

Ok this is odd, it's not working anymore. I'm not sure what I could have done to have changed it, the code is still the same.

any other ideas?

When I first tried the code it didn't work. It would maximize it but 70% of it veered off screen.
So I made a minor modification and it works now

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Sizable;

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

this.MaximumSize = this.Size;

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

this.Location = new Point(0, 0);

Here's a little trick you can use to do this :

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Sizable;

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

this.MaximumSize = this.Size;

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

}
