How to determine the screen width/height using C#

Question

I want to set the width & height of a Window dynamically based on the user screens maximum width/height. How can I determine this programmatically?

Answer 1

You can get the screen height and width:

int height = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height;
int width = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width;

Then set the Window's Height and Width properties to those in the Initialization.

this.Height = height;
this.Width = width;

Works to get the screen's height and width in WinForms or in ASP .NET. No muss, no fuss, except you'll need to reference the System.Windows.Forms assembly in your project if it's not a WinForm project.
