Well where do you want to start. It is not that difficult to program from dual scree. Let us get started with this CP Article - Multi-monitor programming in C#[^] and this blog - http://www.lukepaynesoftware.com/articles/programming-tutorials/multi-monitor-programming-in-c/[^]

Look at this SO entry it will shed some light. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/886700/dual-screen-programming-issue[^]

It's a conceptual thing that requires abstract thinking. The problem is how to use all of the connected monitors in such a way as to:

a) Maximize the effectiveness of your app

...and...

b) Make sense to the user.

If you want to utilize both screens, you're probably going to have to use modeless forms that can be programatically assigned to one of the monitors connected to the computer. The Codeproject article cited by Yusuf may help you determine how many monitors are connected, and where they are in relation to each other (I haven't actually looked at the code).

I wouild probably start off by putting all of the forms on the primary monitor, but track/save their current positions so that the next time the app is used, these forms will be displayed in their last known positions.

Technically, you don't even need to know how many monitors are connected, you simply need to track the positions of the forms.
