I have a game that I have programmed that requires the user to set the screen resolution by 1024 X 768... if they don't do this, then the window will be larger than their screen (and they have to scroll back and forth. I was hoping to find a way to make the screen Fullscreen mode... but I have no idea how to do that with VB.NET. I don't mean that I want the window to be maximized on the screen (I know how to do that). Does anyone know how to have VB.NET open in Fullscreen mode (on the launch of the program)? Any help would be appreciated.

actually maximize may be the key if you tweak it right... set the state to maximize, turn the border off and the control box off too, there may be a couple more but if you all the right properties eventually it will just be a plain fullscreen window (still maximized but with no borders or buttons on top, so if you had a blank grey form the whole screen... i think it will get rid of the taskbar as well but i may be wrong... maybe Form.AlwaysOnTop will help that

good luck
