form problem

[frazer]

hi
i want to store user preferences
like when teh app was last opened i want to store the window height and
width. and then display the form in the same position to the user the next
time the app starts.
i store this.height in a xml file and then read the xml file and assign
that height to the form.
its the same height but it doesnt display it in the last opened position.
my form has

this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual

what am i doing wrong?

Hi Frazer,

simply add the Location in InitializeComponent:

private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.Manual;
this.Location = new Point(<LocationXFromXmlFile>,
<LocationYFromXmlFile>);
}
