creating projects for different screen resolutions 1

[michelleHEC]

I design my projects while using 1280 x 1024 but my users have their settings at 800 x 600. This causes a problem with the usability of the program. They are having to scroll everywhere. Is there a way to avoid this?

See the Scale Method.
private void ScaleMe()
{
SizeF factors;
factors = JYResizer.Scale(this, new Size(800, 600));
}
internal static SizeF Scale(Form frm,
Size designSize)
{
Rectangle rec = Screen.GetWorkingArea(frm);
float xFactor, yFactor;
xFactor = Convert.ToSingle(rec.Width / designSize.Width);
yFactor = Convert.ToSingle(rec.Height / designSize.Height);
if (xFactor < yFactor) yFactor = xFactor;
if (xFactor != 1 || yFactor != 1) frm.Scale(xFactor, yFactor);
return new SizeF(xFactor, yFactor);
}

The code you have shown isn't vb.net. do you know how to do it in visual basic.net?
thank you

private sub ScaleMe()
{
dim factors as SizeF
factors = JYResizer.Scale(me, new Size(800, 600))
}
Friend Shared Scale(frm as Form,
designSize as Size) as SizeF

Dim rec as Rectangle = Screen.GetWorkingArea(frm)
Dim xFactor, yFactor as Double
xFactor = Convert.ToSingle(rec.Width / designSize.Width)
yFactor = Convert.ToSingle(rec.Height / designSize.Height)
if (xFactor < yFactor) then yFactor = xFactor
if (xFactor <> 1 orelse yFactor <> 1) then
frm.Scale(xFactor, yFactor)
return new SizeF(xFactor, yFactor)
