Open window application near to notification area in c#

    Use the below code on form load event.

  private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

double left, right;

        TaskBarLocationProvider.CalculateWindowPositionByTaskbar(this.Width, this.Height, out left, out right);

            this.Left = Convert.ToInt16(left);

            this.Top = Convert.ToInt16(right);

        }

This is the class used to calculate the left and right coordinate for the windows application.
