Try setting your forms properties as:-AutoScaleMode to dpi and also AutoSizeMode to Grow and shrink; Start position centre and state to Maximised. It might help, at least that's what I do and it works on 23 and 15" screens. Fred

Hi Hamed,
Please set "AutoScaleMode" Property of the form in to none as below
this.AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.None;

It's always the best to design for the smallest resolution. 800x600 should be a safe bet, 1024x768 should be ok as well; take into account the taskbar so vertical should be a little smaller. If the data does not fit, make use of e.g. tab pages or mdi.

Also advise users of the minimum required resolution.

Best option for this to set margin padding 0px OR 0% for body.
Secondary you can use bootstrap styling for overcoming on resolution related issues.
