Answer 1

Probably a maximized Form helps, or you can do this manually upon form load:

Code Block

this.Location = new Point(0, 0);

this.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size;

And then, play with anchoring, so the child controls inside your form automatically fit in your form's new size.

Hope this helps,

You can always tell the window to start in maximized... it should give you the same result... Like this: this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

P.S. You could also try (and I'm not recommending this) to subtract the taskbar height.
