You can't - it is a readonly property: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.systeminformation.workingarea.aspx[^]
It doesn't make much sense to try: the WorkingArea is the bit of the screen you are supposed to paint on: otherwise you are painting over the toolbars, and so forth that you have taken such care to get in the right place and looking good.

What are you trying to achieve? There may be a better way to do it.
