Maximize a Winform Width

[sloan]

Probably an easy question but here goes:

A 2.0 winform.

How (on startup) should I properly make the width, the max of the user's
screen?

In a single-monitor context it's reasonably simple:

myForm.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width;
or
myForm.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width;

(the above widths can be different, you need to decide which one to use).

In a multi-monitor contet it's more complex, you'll need to define what your
requirements are. Should the width be the width spanning all monitors or a
single monitor? If it's a single monitor, what's the criteria for choosing
which monitor?
