Note that rbrundritt's solution will not work for oblique (tilted) views. In that case, the visible region resembles more an inverted trapezoid than a bounding box. Also the top-left corner might not be a valid location if the horizon is visible.

For Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607), the MapControl supports a new method GetVisibleRegion() to help you with this.

The following should return you the view bounds of the map:

map.GetVisibleRegion(MapVisibleRegionKind.Full)

See the MapControl documentation for more details.
