Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height

You forgot one JB: .Bounds

No, I had it right.

The working area is the desktop area of the display, excluding taskbars, docked windows, and docked tool bars.

And the WorkingArea does not have a 'Bounds' either.

It's a trick question "screen resolution" means outer bounds (Screen class has Bounds property), also called display resolution. "working area" is the WorkingArea/desktop area. Both Bounds and WorkingArea properties is of type Rectangle.

Technicalities, despite the "screen resolution" he did specify that it's the working area that he/she actually wants.
