SystemParametersInfo to Ccharp

GTi
I need the csharp (C#) function for this API function:

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &rc, 0);

Or must I pInvoke this (also)?

My biggest problem with C# is to find the C# function for API functions?
Is there any help for this available anywhere?

the SystemInformation class contains some of the details, and from the
looks of things what you're after (SPI_GETWO*RKAREA). You'll need to
use interop for the other options that the SystemInformation class
doesn't contain.

http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/...ParametersInfo is the
interop definition.

I believe System.Windows.Forms.Screen.WorkingArea will get you what you
want. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...AreaTopic3.asp
for more info.

There are also several overloads of
System.Windows.Forms.Screen.GetWorkingArea to return the working area based
on the object that is passed in. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...gareatopic.asp
for additional info on that.
