Auto set screen resolution dynamically

Kanhialal kk

How can I change the size of the forms in my Windows application when the
screen resolution the user has is higher than the one I developed the
application in? I have a customer that has a screen resolution of 1600x1200
and I developed the application in a PC with 1024x768 resolution. Is it
possible to increase the forms' sizes accordingly?

you can use the static class Screen to autofit your application to the current screen resolution.

private void AutoFitToScreen()
{
// Retrieve the working rectangle from the Screen class
// using the PrimaryScreen and the WorkingArea properties.
System.Drawing.Rectangle workingRectangle =
Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;

int newHeight = workingRectangle.Height;
int newWidth = workingRectangle.Width;
}

You can use this following C# statements to get the width and height of the screen. Based on available screen you can set your forms..

int wid = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.GetBounds().Width;
int height = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.GetBounds().Height;
