Form::DesktopBounds Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets the size and location of the form on the Windows desktop.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Desktop coordinates are based on the working area of the screen, which excludes the taskbar. The coordinate system of the desktop is pixel-based. If your application is running on a multiple monitor system, the coordinates of the form are the coordinates for the combined desktop.
You can use this property to size and position a form relative to other forms or applications on the Windows desktop.
The following code example sets the size and position of a form so that the form is positioned 50 pixels from the left border of the desktop and 50 pixels from the top of the desktop. This example requires that the method is defined within a form class.
