If you want to set the form size programmatically  set the form s StartPosition property to Manual  Otherwise the form s own positioning and sizing algorithm will interfere with yours  This is why you are experiencing the problems mentioned in your question   Example  Here is how I resize the form to a size half-way between its original size and the size of the screen s working area  I also center the form in the working area   public MainView         InitializeComponent            StartPosition was set to FormStartPosition Manual in the properties window      Rectangle screen   Screen PrimaryScreen WorkingArea      int w   Width  gt   screen Width   screen Width    screen Width   Width    2      int h   Height  gt   screen Height   screen Height    screen Height   Height    2      this Location   new Point  screen Width - w    2   screen Height - h    2       this Size   new Size w  h       Note that setting WindowState to FormWindowState Maximized alone does not change the size of the restored window  So the window might look good as long as it is maximized  but when restored  the window size and location can still be wrong  So I suggest setting size and location even when you intend to open the window as maximized

Can t you start maximized    Set the System Windows Forms Form WindowState property to FormWindowState Maximized

User · Answer

You can always tell the window to start in maximized    it should give you the same result    Like this  this WindowState   FormWindowState Maximized   P S  You could also try  and I m not recommending this  to subtract the taskbar height

Probably a maximized Form helps  or you can do this manually upon form load   Code Block  this Location   new Point 0  0    this Size   Screen PrimaryScreen WorkingArea Size    And then  play with anchoring  so the child controls inside your form automatically fit in your form s new size   Hope this helps
