Unsure of the proper way to use Form.Location...

Nov 22 2010 10:24 PM
I am trying to pull coordinates for a form location out of a database and insert them into the Location property:


childForm.Location = new Point(/* coordinates go here */);


I have tried doing a direct replacement with the DataSet (which didn't work):


childForm.Location = new Point((string)row["location"]);


And I have tried using a string to hold the coordinates:


string Loc = (string)row["location"];
childForm.Location = new Point(Loc);


...which also didn't work.  If I print 'Loc' to the screen, I can see it passing valid coordinates (in this case "100, 200" and "300, 600"), but it errors out when I try to pass that information to childForm.Location.

Obviously I'm doing something very wrong here, but I was unable to find any examples of using non-static or non-relative coordinates.  If you know, could you please tell me what my mistake is?

Thanks!
