Form.Location being ignored on second monitor

Question

Hi all!
I have a form, and I'm trying to set the Location to a saved (previous) location. It seems to work fine for the primary monitor, but it is completely ignored for the secondary monitor, and the window is instead being places in the center of the screen...
Simple code:
Console.WriteLine(value);
form.Location = value;
Console.WriteLine(form.Location);
The output is as follows:
{X:1933 Y:13}
{X=2258,Y=341}
This is with VS 2010. Any ideas? :D
Thanks!

Hi NightCabbage,
>> First time sets it to center on the second screen, second time sets it to the correct location.
I could not reproduce your issue according your description. Could you share us a simple demo or key code that you get and set the Location?
As far as I know, systems that have multiple monitors attached may have trouble recognizing the boundaries of the display area. It will often cause a form’s location to change unpredictably, despite the Location property setting. Your situation seems to
be a work around which has been provided in the link below:

Hope it will help.
