For the primary screen:

System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth
System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight

(Note that there are also some other primary screen related properties which depend on various factors, Full* & Maximised*)

Virtual screen:

SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth
SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight
