Question : How would I launch a C# Windows appllication in full screen mode using Visual Studio 2005?

I am writing a C# Windows application using Visual Studio 2005 and wanted to know how to launch my application in full screen mode.

Here is a snippet of my code:

namespace WindowsApplication7
{
    partial class Form1
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

        #region Windows Form Designer generated code

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// </summary>
        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            this.listBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ListBox();
            this.SuspendLayout();
            //
            // button1
            //
            this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(175, 94);
            this.button1.Name = "button1";
            this.button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
            this.button1.TabIndex = 0;
            this.button1.Text = "Execute";
            this.button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
            //
            // listBox1
            //
            this.listBox1.FormattingEnabled = true;
            this.listBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(36, 75);
            this.listBox1.Name = "listBox1";
            this.listBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(120, 95);
            this.listBox1.TabIndex = 2;
            this.listBox1.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged);
            //
            // Form1
            //
            this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
            this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
            this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273);
            this.Controls.Add(this.listBox1);
            this.Controls.Add(this.button1);
            this.Name = "Form1";
            this.Text = "UDLPWM";
            this.ResumeLayout(false);

        }

        #endregion

        private System.Windows.Forms.Button button1;
        private System.Windows.Forms.ListBox listBox1;
    }
}

Hi zimmer9;

At design time you can set the forms WindowState property to Maximized or through code in the forms load event, see code snippet.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; }
