You can set the minimum and maximum size of your form. If you set these to the screen res, then even if the user double clicks, the form will not resize. It's a bit user hostile tho, why can't your form resize itself to whatever part of the screen the user wants ?

Maximized at all times? Set the MaximizeBox and MinimizeBox properties to false and and the WindowState property to Maximized at design-time, and don't worry about it again.

The thing with the WindowState and MaximizeBox and MinimizeBox did not work,

it only work if I set my window size to a specific size - then its resizing to that size,
Does anyone know how can I get the current screen Hieght and Width and what should I add or deduct from that in order to set the size of the form exactly as big as the maximized window ?

Thanks in advance.

The Screen class is what you want. Screen.PrimaryScreen.Width and .Height will work, on a single monitor system ( you can work this out with the Screen class as well )

Yeah, I miss C++ in a lot of ways, but .NET certainly makes a lot of stuff easy.
