Some simple taskbar questions and needs

I have an running c# application; when I press the Windows button, the taskbar appears, of which does not affect the program. That's great. But how can I do the following...
1) Detect if the taskbar is present.
2) if so, from where will the taskbar appear from?
the bottom, or top, or from either side?
3) is it visible or not.
4) And, what is the C# equivalent code that's behind the
windows bottom on your keyboard.
Or in otherwords, lets the C# equivalent code do the work for us.

Yes, I've gone thru quite a bit of code related to the taskbar and it a little bit overwhelming - not knowing where to start.

The windows button I'm referring to, is the button with the Microsoft's picture of the four paned window. -- when pressed, it pulls up the taskbar.


Thanks for any help.

What I have tried:

browse the C# code here within this site, not knowing how to make heads or tails of it all. Thanks.
