.NET application running on two monitors

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a requirement where my .NET application will run on a computer having two active monitors.
The main application will be running on 1 monitor (meanwhile the second monitor should not show any thing), but at a specific event (hiting of a button in the main application), the desired behavior is to show a specific form ONLY on the second monitor, and on submitting the screen should again be turned black.
Any piece of advice would be appreciated

You can use SystemInformation.VirtualScreen[^] and other SystemInformation properties to determine the screen size and position. Then position the windows appropriately.

Thanks for the reply, but the monitors are not sharing the same screen (as you may have assumed), they are seperate monitors connected to one computer, actually one is facing the sales rep the other the customer, and we want to show certain screens (input forms to the customer)
