Here's some code that will automatically start your app on a secondary monitor if it's compiled with debug info.
// SecondaryDebug.h : main header file for the SecondaryDebug application
//
#pragma once

#ifndef __AFXWIN_H__
	#error "include 'stdafx.h' before including this file for PCH"
#endif

#include "resource.h"       // main symbols


// CSecondaryDebugApp:
// See SecondaryDebug.cpp for the implementation of this class
//

class CSecondaryDebugApp : public CWinApp
{
private:
	CRect m_secondaryRect;
	void UseSecondaryMonitor();

public:
	CSecondaryDebugApp();


// Overrides
public:
	virtual BOOL InitInstance();

// Implementation
	afx_msg void OnAppAbout();
	DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

extern CSecondaryDebugApp theApp;

I've been paid as a programmer since 1982 with experience in Pascal, and C++ (both self-taught), and began writing Windows programs in 1991 using Visual C++ and MFC. In the 2nd half of 2007, I started writing C# Windows Forms and ASP.Net applications, and have since done WPF, Silverlight, WCF, web services, and Windows services.

My weakest point is that my moments of clarity are too brief to hold a meaningful conversation that requires more than 30 seconds to complete. Thankfully, grunts of agreement are all that is required to conduct most discussions without committing to any particular belief system.
