Rotate y-axis C#

hi,
is there any way that i could rotate y-axis, that it would have 0 at the bottom of the screen and when i go up it will increase.

You want to change the orientation of the x-axis and y-axis of the forms designer? Unfortunately, this can't be done. It is always in the top left, as all the controls expect the values passed to them will refer to the top left.

You need to be much more specific. What control are you using? Is this an application question? Excel maybe? If so, you're in the wrong forum. If this is a programming question, the y-axis of what?

I'm in Windows forms general forum, so i am building a windows application. I am using C# language with with microsoft visual studio 2005. And this language has its koordinates x-right, and y-down. So 0,0 is in upper left corner, i would like to have it in bottom left corner.

Tnx

True. Quite true. But one could always write a method or a class that translates user coordinates that the OP wants, into physical coordinates that windows uses.

public System.Drawing.Rectangle Bounds { get; }

Member of System.Windows.Forms.Screen

Summary:

Gets the bounds of the display.

Returns:

A System.Drawing.Rectangle, representing the bounds of the display.

That might be a good place to start from.
