C#

In general, methods represent actions and properties represent data. Properties are meant to be used like fields, meaning that properties should not be computationally complex or produce side effects. When it does not violate the following guidelines, consider using a property, rather than a method, because less experienced developers find properties easier to use.

If you are showing a WinForm with 'WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized, it will fill the screen completely, covering any TaskBars that are not hidden.

private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   MaximizedBounds = Screen.FromHandle(Handle).WorkingArea;
   WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}

Do you have experience with interop in C# using the Shell ... i.e., using WndProc, using P/Invokes ?
