winforms - How to position the opening form at specific location in C# Windows Forms?

Question

The Location property in the form is set to 0,0 (Properties Window). However, the form doesn't open at the specified location. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

You need to set StartPosition to manual to make the form set start position to the value in Location Property.

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
    this.Location = new Point(0, 0);
}

FormStartPosition FormStartPosition.Manual

The position of the form is determined by the System.Windows.Forms.Control.Location property.
