Form overlaps taskbar when maximized

Question

How do I prevent the form from overlapping the taskbar when I maximize it?
I do have the formborderstyle set as none because i'm working on the form from scratch.

I am using this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized to maximize the form.

You've probably inadvertently changed one of the form's properties in the properties box - perhaps the StartPosition property. If you're setting the location manually (the line you added) then you need: this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual; this.Location = new Point(00);

Ok this is odd it's not working anymore. I'm not sure what I could have done to have changed it the code is still the same. any other ideas?

When I first tried the code it didn't work. It would maximize it but 70% of it veered off screen. So I made a minor modification and it works now this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Sizable; this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; this.MaximumSize = this.Size; this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; this.Location = new Point(0 0);

Here's a little trick you can use to do this : private void Form1_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Sizable; this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; this.MaximumSize = this.Size; this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; }
