FormStartPosition.CenterParent does not work

Question

In the following code, only the second method works for me (.NET 4.0). FormStartPosition.CenterParent does not center the child form over its parent. Why?

Answer 1

If you set the owner of the child form like so:

Form2 f = new Form2();
f.Show(this);

You can then center it easily like this:

Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Owner != null)
        Location = new Point(Owner.Location.X + Owner.Width / 2 - Width / 2,
            Owner.Location.Y + Owner.Height / 2 - Height / 2);
}
