Solution 1

Set the StartPosition property to Manual. Use the Load event to change the position, the earliest you'll know the actual size of the window:

C#

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Screen scr = Screen.FromPoint(this.Location);
        this.Location = new Point(scr.WorkingArea.Right - this.Width, scr.WorkingArea.Top);
    }
}

Cheers

Thanks for your help, but what is this working area its giving me error...

Error8 : 'object' does not contain a definition for 'WorkingArea' and no extension method 'WorkingArea' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Sorry, check the edit, my copy paste error. I tried the code above and it is working properly.

Oh...i solved this...through your help thank u..but its coming..Like top----right, it is better if i will get middle ---right

Then modify the location in this way:

this.Location = new Point(scr.WorkingArea.Right / 2, scr.WorkingArea.Top);

It is a simple calculation, WorkingArea gives you the screen positions, and with that you can calculate the point where you want to show your form.

You had just asked that: "it is better if i will get middle ---right". Can you explain exactly where and how you would like to put this form on the screen??? Make a picture and post the link! :)

Try with this:

this.Location = new Point(scr.WorkingArea.Right - this.Width, (scr.WorkingArea.Bottom - this.Height) / 2);

And don't forget to accept and vote the answer ;)
