What's your problem dude? All my questions are clear. If you and your colleagues don't know what a *splash*screen* means, do as anybody else: ASK! Your solution (LOL) is a TextBox... For me it's not a solution, it's dditional problems: a heavy control to do just a simple thing, and it needs a parent window - your solution will need a splash screen of its own. And mind yourself to learn that a TextBox has a window! YES, THE TEXTBOX HAS A VISIBLE WINDOW(!)...
... unless your proposal is a TextBox control with a HIDDEN WINDOW... (LOL)...

Whenever you read a question and you don't understand it, then move on and forget this question: maybe, it's too advanced for you. And don't express your *opinions* as if they were standards, because they are not, they are just your opinions, and as such, keep them for yourself - you are the only one who uses an application full of visual information (like VS) in a small window.
I've just noticed a fixed pattern: there are 2 members down voting my posts! I bet anything that's you, with 2 accounts! Keep doing to show that not only your answers are low worth, but your character too.

In other words, there's nothing more for you to do in this thread, so, move on. But you seem to not understand it.

""Not sure where you get the idea that a control will need it's own splash screen""
A splash screen is by definition, something quick to load, otherwise there's no point in using it. Your control must be loaded. Where? Propably as child window, which tells me, you'll have to create *2*windows *: the control's window and its parent window.
This post has nothing to do with windows phone, which means you don't understand anything about my question.
Also try to keep your opinions to yourself, because maximized windows won't get me less friends; maybe for you and your applications this is true. Moreover, I'm not asking any opinion, so, yours and any others' is irrelevant to me.

Imagine my C# console application being instantiated through double-click on File Explorer: it should appear with the top-left corner positioned at screen position (0, 0).
Nothing special, I just want to have it (the console app) open at a specific screen position ( 0,0 in my case).

Using a general purpose control is an overkill, let alone a composite control ( I guess it will need its *own*splash*screen* - LOL ). Do expect to win many enemies when you implement small windows that cannot fit inside them, all necessary info. Currently, OSes are preemptive multitasking, which make them very easy to switch from a *maximized* application to any other. Being a small screen will not make things any easier. For instance, no one uses VS in a small window - if you do, maximize it and you'll feel more comfortable.
A splash screen cannot be *another* program; it has to be simple.

Before implementing some code, I want to gather suggestions about a technique to solve the problem.

What's your suggestion?
What's the technique you see is recommended to achieve what I'm looking for?

If you don't know the answer, just read other's answers - don't spam my post

You said you don't know, because you closed my post.
Why did you close my post?
Because you don't understand what's a splash screen.
When you don't know something, ask someone who does! - this is a good lesson for everyone.

I'm not spamming nothing; you are.

I'm just asking a SIMPLE question.
Read your posts and see you are spamming my post.

I reciprocate the grief/lament.
Why haven't you asked this question before closing a post about something you don't understand?

arpoador 25-Jul-14 8:55am View

Thanks, I'm gonna check that.

I mean as required by the application, eventually.
During execution, a specific reason may arise to transform an object into a JSON, as required.

arpoador 25-Jul-14 8:37am View

This question is not about C#, it's plain MFC, with a web control activex.

arpoador 25-Jul-14 8:05am View

Maybe, it'd be simpler to instantiate a C# application specific to return a JSON object, as required.

arpoador 25-Jul-14 8:00am View

Thanks, but it doesn't work.
Try this, and see the window being positioned anywhere:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.SetWindowPosition(0, 0);
var v = Console.ReadLine();
}
