use second monitor with wpf?

Hi all,
i'm relatively new to C# and WPF altogether. It looks great so far.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to assign a Window or Canvas to the second monitor on a multi-monitor PC? I basically want to mirror what is happening on a Canvas on primary monitor, on a canvas on the secondary monitor.
any thoughts?

AFAIK there is currently no way to do this purely with WPF.

However you should be able to :
* use the "System.Windows.Forms.Screen" class to get information about the screen(s) -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformsscreenclasstopic.asp
* reposition your window
Application.Current.MainWindow.Left = xxx;
Application.Current.MainWindow.Top= yyy;

Thx !

... Or PInvoke into GDI / User32, but I assumed you wanted your code to be strictly managed.

Thx !

You have to position your canvas's. Each to be displayed on the different monitors.

You could then use the VisualBrush for the mirror effect. From one canvas to the other.
