Question

I have a weird issue. When I create a new Form in Visual Studio (WinForm), in the designer always appears at location 0,0.
Somehow (I don’t know how), my form is positioned in the middle of the designer (the upper left corner is now in location 120, 150 for example).
Is there any way to put it back in 0,0? Tried to drag it but is not working.
Thanks in advance.

FOUND IT! I was inheriting the form, and overriding the OnShown like this:

  private void gp_InicialN_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     Rectangle oRect = Screen.GetBounds(this);
     this.Top = (oRect.Height / 2) - (this.Height / 2);
     this.Left = (oRect.Width / 2) - (this.Width / 2);
  }

What I wasn’t doing is checking the DesignMode variable. Now, once changed that works fine.

  private void gp_InicialN_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     if (!DesignMode)
     {
        Rectangle oRect = Screen.GetBounds(this);
        this.Top = (oRect.Height / 2) - (this.Height / 2);
        this.Left = (oRect.Width / 2) - (this.Width / 2);
     }
  }
