'VB      

Dim x, y as Int32

 x = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width

y = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height

Me.Size = New Size(x - 20, y - 20)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
//c#

int x = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width;

int y = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height;

this.Size = new Size(x - 20, y - 20);

would set your form to 20 pixels less than your resolution in both dimensions. You can use similar logic to change the size of your controls.

Here's another example from vb2005

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
  Dim a As Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea

        'Size form

        Me.Width = a.Width

        Me.Height = a.Height

        'Position form

        Me.Top = 0

        Me.Left = 0

There is also:

Screen.AllScreens

Which gives an array of screens to check for screen resolutions on.

I think there is also a way to tell which screen your window currently resides on, but I cannot seem to find it.
