    screen resolution

    Dear All

    I've recently purchased a new laptop, with a different screen resolution (1920 x1080) to the one I do all my coding on at work (1680x1050). Ideally I would like to be able to transfer code I'm working on between the desktop at work and my laptop. However all my windows forms seem to get messed up, i.e. the position of the controls changes when transferring between the two.

    I've tried fiddling with auto-size and anchoring the controls without success. Is there any way to lock the size of the forms so they don't resize when changing screen resolution (or more importantly aspect ratio) ?

    code developed in VS2008, targeting .net 2.0 framework

    any help would be appreciated

    cheers

    That doesn't really make sense, does it? If the aspect ratio changes, you now have a different ratio between x and y. There is no magical way to account for this, but proper use of a FlowLayoutPanel and/or the Dock/Anchor properties will fix it.

    Hi Simon,

    Seems a ridiculous situation doesn't it! Luckily it can be sorted out by going to Control Panel/Fonts and changing the font size to 100%.
