Multiple monitors - Visual Basic .NET

Paul Cheetham

Hi,

I am writing an application in VB.Net, and I need to incorporate
multiple monitor support, in order to show supplementary information on
a second screen.

Can anyone tell me how I can find the number of displays connected to
the PC, and how I go about referencing them for positioning forms etc?
Thankyou

Hi Paul,

Take a look at the System.Windows.Forms.Screen class and methods.
