Position of Primary Screen in Virtual Screen

I can center a wpf window in somewhere in the primary screen or in the virtual screen. However, I want to stretch the window over the whole virtual screen and place e.g. a grid in the window in a way that it fills the primary screen. The following snipped shows how I stretch the window, add a grid and stretch the grid to fit the primary screen size, but how do I determine the position (i.e. margin) for the grid? 

<Window x:Class="BC.Citrium.Screensaver.Saver.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" 
        Height="{x:Static SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight}" 
        Width="{x:Static SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth}"
        Top="{x:Static SystemParameters.VirtualScreenTop}"
        Left="{x:Static SystemParameters.VirtualScreenLeft}"
        ResizeMode="NoResize" WindowStyle="None">
    <Grid Name="mainGrid"
          Height="{x:Static SystemParameters.MaximizedPrimaryScreenHeight}" 
          Width="{x:Static SystemParameters.MaximizedPrimaryScreenWidth}"
          Margin="???"
          Background="Bisque">
    </Grid>
</Window>

I could draw two windows, one to fit the virtual screen and one above that to fit the primary screen, but that's not the nice way.

The upper left corner of the primary screen is always at screen position (0, 0). Which makes the margin you want to use (-VirtualScreenLeft, -VirtualScreenTop). With adjustment for the window border width and the window caption height.
