I have 3 monitors and when I launch a debug session, the WPF app automatically starts 2 screens away from where I am coding. I found the code to specify where on the screen it starts:

        WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.Manual;
        Left = 100;
        Top = 100;

but not how to control which monitor it starts on. Since it isn't a Windows Forms app, I can't do something like:

var myApp = InitializeComponent();

So I am not sure what to do next to get control of the window.

Say `Left = 2020;` – Rand Random Jul 02 '18 at 16:02
Thanks Rand, using `Left = -4500; Top = -1000;` works, but it seems like there should be a "right" way to send it to a specific monitor, like the one that VS is running on. – Alan Jul 02 '18 at 16:08
