How to fit Windows Form to any screen resolution?

I work on VS 2008 with C#. This below code does not work for me. My form was designed in 1024 x 768 resolution.

Our clients laptop is in 1366 x 768 resolution. To solve this problem, I set below code in Form Load event:

this.Location = new Point(0, 0);
this.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size;

but the form does not resize as per screen resolution and bottom of my form gets hidden or cut or I miss the scroll bar.

Is there any way to solve this problem? Please show me the syntax.

You can always tell the window to start in maximized... it should give you the same result... Like this: this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

P.S. You could also try (and I'm not recommending this) to subtract the taskbar height.
