Opening a window in full screen mode

[Umair Ahmad khan]

well i want to open my window in full screen mode. i mean only client area should be displayed and also i want to change the resolution of computer through code .. like when my application runs it change the computer resolution to my desired resolution :) is it possible in c#. what comes in my mind as a biggner programer .. i set size to 810 x 610 and set location manually to -10,-10 but i don't think it is a good and proper solution :) so if there is any other way to do this please tell me. In short words :) i want that my application covers the whole screen area no metter what resolution is been used

How about setting the form border to none and size to maximize? Gary Thom DYNAMIC LINKING ERROR: Your mistake is now everywhere.

Here is what I do in OnLoad event of the form: FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; TopMost = true; Rectangle rect = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds; Location = new Point(0, 0); Size = new Size(rect.Width, rect.Height); and it works perfectly for me.
