    Me.CenterToScreen() can be used to center the form.. unless you need to know the pixels positions...

    User your ruler and measure half the height and half the width and then draw a mark. That is your center screen in VB.NET
    VB Code:
    1. Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width / 2

    2. Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height / 2

    I havent used .CenterToScreen but the help file shows...
    This member supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
    So how is to be used then?

    Re: [RESOLVED] Determining center of screen in VB.Net

    Hmmm... that is very interesting.. don't know the repurcussions of doing it, but it does center the form on the screen... A guess would be that it is used when setting the start position of your form or whatnot... and wasn't intended to be used directly in the code... but if it works..................
