[VB.NET] Form size in relation to Resolution?

[Mr. Black]

Howdy again guys,

VB6 used to have a window that would show your form, and it's size, in relation to the Monitor's resolution, so you could design the form so it didn't exceed the monitor's resolution.

Anything like that for .NET?

Thanks

Well on the basis everyone uses different resolutions; it's fairly pointless...

That being said; if you're only going to use the application on your own machine you can set the 'MaximumSize' property on the form to match those of your resolution.

Personally, I design to fit a 800x600 form (at the most; I do design some forms to be smaller and intend to keep them that way!) and anchor the objects so they expand intelligently to keep ratios correct.

use screen.width and screen.height?

use screen.width and screen.height?

I think you mean 'Screen.GetWorkingArea' ?

Also, be aware that user's can have multiple monitors and each monitor can have a different resolution.

I guess my next question is; Why are you concerned about the user's resolution?
