Might not be completely relevant to the question. But maybe can help someone.

Center Screen non of the above work for me. Reason was I was adding controls dynamically to the form. Technically when it centered it was correct , based on the form before adding the controls.

So here was my solution. ( Should work with both scenarios )

int x = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width - this.PreferredSize.Width;
int y = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height - this.PreferredSize.Height;

this.Location = new Point(x / 2, y / 2);

So you will notice that I am using "PreferredSize" instead of just using Height / Width. The preferred size will hold the value of the form after adding the controls. Where Height / Width won't.

Hope this helps someone .

Cheers
