Methods

CreateDeviceContext Creates a device context (DC) for the source Screen and returns a IntPtr pointing to the created device context.

The device context is an opaque data structure, whose values are used internally by GDI. You can use the returned IntPtr in subsequent GDI functions to draw in the device context.

The device context must be released by calling the the ReleaseDC(IntPtr, IntPtr) function.

Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object)
GetScreenHandle Gets a handle to the source Screen.

You can use the returned handle in subsequent GDI functions.

GetType Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)
IsRealPrimaryScreen Determine whether the source Screen is the primary device.

You must always call IsRealPrimaryScreen(Screen) function instead of Primary, which does not properly update the class members after a display change:
