I am assuming you mean a windows forms application. A Form has a
property called StartPosition see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...itiontopic.asp
for more information. Setting it to FormStartPositi on.Manual and then
setting the Location property to new Point(0, 0); should do the trick.

Hello

There can be a way to start it at Bottom Right Corner, but u can to perform
little calculation.

1. Get the Screen Resolution.
2. X = Subtract the Width from the X-Value of the Resolution
3. Y = Subtract the Height from the Y-Value of the Resolution
4. After getting the resulting values, assign it to the start position (X,Y)

is (800x600) or anything else

I would just set StartPosition to FormStartPositi on.Manual and Location
to (0,0) in the constructor/initialise event for the main form.

I have configured a few of the windows I am working on to have the form value "Start Position" to be "CenterParent" but some of them don't. Does Center Parent only work when the dialog is modal? I'm not writing an MDI application so I other posts I've read just don't seem very relevent. Do I have to explicitly set the parent??? What if I don't know it is?
