C# – Maximize WPF Window on the current screen

cnetwindowswpf

I have a windowless wpf application, whenever I set the window state as maximized it maximizes it on the primary display.

What I would like to do is have it maximize on which ever display the application is running.

So any idea how I would do this?

My code at the moment is just

private void titleBarThumb_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.WindowState == System.Windows.WindowState.Normal)
            {
                this.WindowState = System.Windows.WindowState.Maximized;
            }
            else
            {
                this.WindowState = System.Windows.WindowState.Normal;
            }
        }

I've included this line on my MainWindow (first control) constructor:

Application.Current.MainWindow.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;

C# – the difference between String and string in C#

string is an alias in C# for System.String.
So technically, there is no difference. It's like int vs. System.Int32.

As far as guidelines, it's generally recommended to use string any time you're referring to an object.

e.g.

string place = "world";

Likewise, I think it's generally recommended to use String if you need to refer specifically to the class.

e.g.

string greet = String.Format("Hello {0}!", place);

This is the style that Microsoft tends to use in their examples.

It appears that the guidance in this area may have changed, as StyleCop now enforces the use of the C# specific aliases.

C# – Calling the base constructor in C#

Modify your constructor to the following so that it calls the base class constructor properly:

public class MyExceptionClass : Exception
{
    public MyExceptionClass(string message, string extrainfo) : base(message)
    {
        //other stuff here
    }
}

Note that a constructor is not something that you can call anytime within a method. That's the reason you're getting errors in your call in the constructor body.
