Changing Location of Toolstrips at startup

Question

Hello everybody i have a wierd error in my code. The thing i want to do is when i close and open the program i want to see the toolstrips at their last locations. this method load coordinates of two toolstrip from an xml file into a datatable then i hold the values in coordinate as point type. And then i want to assign the coordinate values to location of toolstrips but it does not work correct :S public void LoadToolstripCoordinates() { int i; Point coordinates = new Point(); DataTable dTable = new DataTable(); dTable = ReadLogFromXml(); if (dTable != null) { for (i = 0; i { coordinates.X = Convert.ToInt32(dTable.Rows[i][1]); coordinates.Y = Convert.ToInt32(dTable.Rows[i][2]); if (loading == 0) { //here code does not work correct if (i == 0) this.toolStrip1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(coordinates.Xcoordinates.Y); if (i == 1) this.toolStrip2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(coordinates.Xcoordinates.Y); } } loading=1; } } this.toolStrip1.Location has x and y valueswhen i debug my code i saw that x value changes but y value does not change. i couldn't understand the problem if u have any idea please inform me

Friend Here is Code I have Written For you !!Take a Reference of it Download the Attachment of Post . and do check Do you like this answer check box please :) namespace ControlTrackingXML { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } void WriteLocationToFile() { int x = toolStrip1.Location.X; int y =toolStrip1.Location.Y; XmlTextWriter wr = new XmlTextWriter ( condination.xml  Encoding .UTF8); wr.WriteStartDocument(); wr.WriteStartElement( Condinates1 ); wr.WriteAttributeString( x  x.ToString()); wr.WriteAttributeString( y  y.ToString()); wr.WriteEndElement(); wr.WriteEndDocument(); wr.Close(); } private void Form1_FormClosing( object sender FormClosingEventArgs e) { WriteLocationToFile(); } private void Form1_Load( object sender EventArgs e) { // Load Location of ToolStrip from File XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument (); doc.Load( condination.xml ); foreach ( XmlNode n in doc.ChildNodes) { if (n.Name == Condinates1 ) { int x y; x = Convert .ToInt32(n.Attributes[ x ].Value.ToString()); y = Convert .ToInt32(n.Attributes[ y ].Value.ToString()); toolStrip1.Location = new Point (x y); } } } } }

did you check the toolstrip's dock property? if it is set to top the Y coordinate won't change
