Running app in secondary monitor by default.

Hi, i have a dual monitor setup. i want my app to run in the secondary monitor by default (through settings in my app). i have been browsing the net for a solution and i found a solution which is setting the Form.Bounds to the Bounds of the secondary monitor. my problem is that if i set the bounds of my newly created form, when it gets displayed, it doesn't show in the secondary monitor.

Code:

---

      private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
        Form1 frm = new Form1();

        frm.SetBounds(-1280, 112, frm.Bounds.Width, frm.Bounds.Height);
        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("frm.Bounds [{0},{1}]",frm.Bounds.Left,frm.Bounds.Top));
        //frm.Bounds = Screen.AllScreens[1].Bounds;
        //frm.Location = Screen.AllScreens[1].Bounds.Location;
        frm.Show();
        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("frm.Bounds [{0},{1}]", frm.Bounds.Left, frm.Bounds.Top));
       
      }

---

in the code above, i first set the bounds, i can see from the message box the settings i assigned.
after form gets displayed, i checked the bounds again, it has changed to it's default :(

how do i show then a newly created form to a specific Bounds?

Is there any chance whatsoever that the program will always be running on dual-screen system?

As for a quick and dirty solution, you could use My.Settings to hold a point value (the location of the form) and set it when the program closes. When the program starts up, if has been set (meaning it was ran at least once already) you can just position the form to those coord's. Which means if you close the program on your 2nd screen then next time you run it, it'll show on the 2nd screen.

Have you set the form's StartPosition property to Manual?
