Using this code snippet you can create a form suiting your screen size.

The code sample below is executed on a Form's Load Event in VB.NET. This is the most appropriate time to resize the form. Because, at compile time we may not know the exact screen size as the run time environment could always be different.

The code also hides the taskbar when it is active thereby gaining complete focus from the user. This is done by setting the form's TopMost property.


 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.Size = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize
        Me.Location = New Point(0, 0)
        Me.TopMost = True
    End Sub
