The code below shows the same values for both
private void mainform_Move(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
lbllocation.Tex t = "location" + this.Location.T oString();
lbldesktoplocat ion.Text = "location" + this.DesktopLoc ation.ToString( );
}
what exactly is the difference ?

No, I'll answer.
They don't have to both show the same thing...you can extend your desktop across both of them, making it act like one large display, except maximizing still only fills one window. It's especially nice for coding, if you have to look at your database at the same time. Have your code up in one, your DB up in the other. Or if you have to compare documents...or anything that requires more than one window at a time.
So, for example, I have two 19 inch monitors right now. They're both at 1280x1024 resolution. My desktop is actually 2560x1024 pixels, because it treats them as one big screen.
Also, there are some good uses for the "cloned view" where both show the same thing...like for projectors. Also, I saw a setup in a photographer's place, where they had a monitor facing forward and backwards, so that the client could sit on the other side of the desk, and preview pics with them.

I have 3 and some days I still wonder if I could have more. I'm working my way up to the 6 that John Travolta has in Operation: Swordfish.
IIRC that was seven, and that would be all kinds of neat...having them all wall mounted....

Anyway, I think you can go up to nine without specialized hardware...I heard that somewhere from someone, so I have no idea if that's true.
@insertAlias
I doubt very much my boss would let me have all that equipment and if I "wasted" that kind of money my home computer, my wife would kill me. hehe. I guess I should've married a woman that's as into computers as I am :o)
No, because then you'd be buying her those monitors ;)
But seriously, I'm picking up a 24" over the holidays....it' s going to be great.
At home I like to have one big monitor, because I play games. Working, I like multiples.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
