Use Screen Class which gives right gives you working area of screen of monitor. Then Form load Event will look like this
private void dynamicSizeForm_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgse)
{
Screen scr = Screen.PrimaryScreen;
this.Left = (scr.WorkingArea.Width – this.Width) / 2;
this.Top = (scr.WorkingArea.Height – this.Height) / 2;
}
You can use above code to fix the location and size of windows form when it loads
Screen.PrimaryScreen
Returns a Rectangle structure that represents the bounds
of the display area for the current screen, minus the space
taken for the taskbar and any other docked windows.

I assume you are using C# 2008 VS express. Then use this call : Rectangle r = Screen.GetBounds(myform); This does not give you the bounds of your form but it gives you the bounds of the screen your form wants to live in. Now r contains all the elements to adjust the size of your form. ================================================== For vs 2005 Try This: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width; this.Height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height; this.Top = 0; this.Left = 0; }
