Use LocationChanged event on Form.
and set Position.

C#

private void onLocation_Changed(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           this.Location = new Point(150, 100);
       }

Solution 1

There is properties of form you can set from that or also can make a method for that like this

C#

private void SetFormPosition()
    {
        this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
        this.Left = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Right - this.Width;
        this.Top = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Bottom - this.Height;
    }

Thank You....

Actually i fixed the position but the end user is dragging the window to another position.i want to fix that position such that the end user can't change the position of the form means the end user can't select the form.

Thanks

With the Solution 1 given by Chauhan_Yatin the Form position can be fixed, but the form can still be moved either by dragging with the TitleBar or by using the move menu option of TitleBar short cut menu. As seen from the question, I think, the form is not to be moved by the user. To achieve this the following Code Project article
Immoveable Form[^]
and the following
