Is there a way in C#.Net to find the location of a textbox control on a Winform relative to the screen resolution?

I know the location property gives you the location of the control relative to the Winform it is on. But I want to know the x,y coordinates relative to the top left corner of the display, not the Winform.

I had suggestions for using com interop and make an unmanaged call but wanted to know if there was something native to .Net.

Thanks, Dan

What you are looking for is probably the Control.PointToScreen method:

Computes the location of the specified client point into screen coordinates.

The inverse is the Control.PointToClient method, by the way.
