Showing a Windows form on a secondary monitor?

Question

I'm trying to set a Windows Form on secondary monitor, as follows:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MatrixView n = new MatrixView();
        Screen[] screens = Screen.AllScreens;
        setFormLocation(n, screens[1]);
        n.Show();
    }

    private void setFormLocation(Form form, Screen screen)
    {
        // first method
        Rectangle bounds = screen.Bounds;
        form.SetBounds(bounds.X, bounds.Y, bounds.Width, bounds.Height);

        // second method
        //Point location = screen.Bounds.Location;
        //Size size = screen.Bounds.Size;

        //form.Left = location.X;
        //form.Top = location.Y;
        //form.Width = size.Width;
        //form.Height = size.Height;

    }

The properties of bounds seem correct, but in both methods I've tried, this maximizes the form on the primary monitor. Any ideas?

Try setting WindowStartUpLocation parameter as "manual" inside your SetFormLocation method.
