Show application window on remote screen??

I am looking into building a C# app that will let the user enter
information which will then be formatted and displayed on a separate
screen. I guess I could either show the formatted data in a new
windows form or in a web browser.

The system will be set up on a lap top so the user will be viewing the
lap top screen for data entry, but the second window will be shown on
a large tv screen.

My question is - is there any way to make sure the second window opens
in the remote screen, and the main window opens on the local, lap top
screen...... this is really flexible at the moment so any ideas very
much appreciated!

Do you have to have the app on the laptop pop up the window on the other
screen? Can you just make it so that the second application has to be up
and running? If so, you can have the application on the display machine be
a remoting server (using remoting, or WCF), and then have the laptop be a
client.

Then it is just a matter of the client making calls to the server.

It's one application that will be running, one window needs to open on
the laptop screen, one on the second monitor screen which will be
plugged into the lap top.

So it's one app on one machine which will show two windows? If that is
the case, then you really just need to have two windows in your application
and position them so that they are on the appropriate displays.

With two monitors configured like this, they will both make up the
desktop, so it is just a matter of positioning.
