You can do it using one of the following --

  1. Set the form WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

  2. Get the screen resolution using following code and set the size of your forms accordingly

    int height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height; 
int width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width;
