IDE :: Size Parameters Change When Development Machine Has Different Screen Resolution?
Mar 18, 2010
We did development of a VB application on a machine with a high resolution screen. Also the machine where the real application runs has a high resolution screen. After a while we wanted to do minnor changes on the application and we wanted to use a low resolution laptop for that. When we opened the application for editing we saw that all forms changed their sized automatically AND unwanted.How can we build and change applications in one form size that does not change depending on the resolution of the machine on which edits are made?
I am working on an program and I need it to change the size on the form and the button etc when its ran on a different resolution then it was coded on. Is there anyway to do this easy or do I have to hard code it on two different and change it by like a button etc? I am working with a 1024 X 780 and a 1240 X 1024.
I have created a WCF service using vb.net. Everything works fine on my development machine but when I deployed it it failed with the following error'There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter [URL] I call a single method on the service and it has a single parameter called 'querys'. This parameter was a list(Of CustomType). I then created a new method with a single parameter of type ArrayList. Thinking that this should serialize. Again it works fine on my development machine but fails when I deploy it with the same error a above.
I am completely stumped how it can serialize a parameter on one machine and not on another. I've tried it on 2 other machine and it doesn't work on either of them. So that rules out a problem with the machine itself.All machines are running Win XP and .Net v3.5. The service was developed using VB .net in Visual Studio 2008.I have not included any code because the error is happening System.ServiceModel and as I mentioned above the code does work on the development machine.
I made vb.net program for 1440x900 resolution, if i run my program on 800x600 or 1024x768, my program's resolution is bigger then windows, so i have problem with resolution. Now i want to change my program's size and i am interested in, wich resolution is correct to make program, 800x600 such as minimum?
I have a very high screen resolution on my laptop: 1400x1050.My colleague tried it out on his laptop (which had lesser resolution), and the application did not fit on his laptop. The buttons were dragging out of the screen space.So, I want my application to automatically resize/adjust based upon the screen resolution.I don't want to use Maximized screen option and don't want to change user's pc settings.Unfortunatly I am not using Table Layout panel.
In my application,I placed the user control on a panel,I want to resize that control on a panel automatically according to different screen resolution.
Wondering if there was a way around the seemingly nonsensical editor changing of the maximum size form you can edit/create to some value approaching the screen resolution you are working on. This is a P.I.T.A. as I often edit pages on a laptop with a smaller max resolution than the monitors I typically do layouts for.Any way to by pass this to let me edit larger screen sizes on my laptop?
I just want to get opinions from other developers.What size do you tend to prefer for your applications?I have decided to stick to 1024×768 but am I alienating the people who still have 800×600.According to Wikipedia only 1% of internet users still use 800×600 screen resolution.What size do you tend to prefer for your applications?
How to create a program that detects the screen resolution and change it to 1280x800 or 1024x768? What are the computer requirements to support each of these resolutions. (I don't want for the program to request the user as programs do this especially in Windows Vista, because my program will be created for Windows Vista).
How to change the system screen resolution in VB 2005 or 2008? As it something to do with this: Code Block My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width System.Drawing.Rectangle
i wanted to develop a application to Refresh the screen.[Simple F5 would work !!] but is it possible.I want a button to start at X:0 Y:0 then on loading the form want the button to move diagonally on the form [ on reaching end the process should repeat ]I want the application that displays current resolution.The supported resolution by monitor and then give user the choice of selecting one.
I want to resize font of all windows form control when i change screen resolution..I am able to resize all the controls but font resize driving me nuts..
I have to know how to set system resolution of all tools in forms, which i using for my application.
I attached two screen shots. When i work my application with my system, form window and their tools placed correctly with my monitor fit(15 inch monitor).
But when i work my application in 21 inch monitor, all tools re arranged and
not in format. post me the code to set resolution as per system??
1. Is there anyway to make an application look as though it has been set to a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 when the true resolution different?
2. I am developing my app using a widescreen monitor. What dimensions does the form need to be set to so that it looks exactly the same on a normal & widescreen monitor?
I had designed all forms on 1280/800 screen resolution.
i want set all forms resolution like the current screen resolution of the user,or make the form resolution is dynamic with each resolution of screen for
I've been trying to find the answer to keeping an application from allowing "scaling" of controls and forms to the user's settings. I have set the autoscalemode to "none" on one form but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Visual Basic. My users are on using either XP or Windows 7. I think we are all using Framework 3.5 but not really sure.
I knew this problem would eventually become an issue but ... Now the problem has become an issue. I have a user that has dual monitors and has the text setting on medium. Now the label controls overlap the input text fields.
I am working on an application using vb 2008 express. I have built test programs over the past few weeks and shared them for feed back. Today when I finished some work, I built another test application, but when I install it the start-up screen maximizes but is set between one and two desktop icons from the top of the screen.
In debug mode it looks fine. In the past it looks fine. Each time I start the program the screen is in a slightly different location. It is set to start maximized and to the best of my knowledge, I did not change any settings in the property area. I have tried loading on three computers and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I could have done to produce this strange result?
I purchased a new computer with windows 7. The screen size is 16x9. My old computer had 4x3. I can no longer read my VB6 programs as they no longer fit on the new screen. I need to alter the height. Is there some code that I can add to overcome this problem.
I want to make the GUI code listing easy to read. I want to inlarge the font. not any control; the listing of the code; not the form window layout; the code listing behind the form and modual listings.
I have written an async UDP client to talk to a server at my company. When I run on my developer machine all is well. When I deploy to another machine I get a socket exception on EndReceive the first time I send data over the socket. My dev box is Win7 and I have deployed to both an XP SP3 machine and a Server 2003 R2 machine. Below is the receive code:
I don't THINK it should be a credentials issue.I'm reading the credentials out of a database and using the same ones whether the program is running on my development machine (Win7) or my production server (Win 2008 R2).[code]
I'm fairly new to WebService development and have just set up my own webservice (ASP.Net 3.5, Visual Studio 2008 .asmx file). I cannot find a way of setting up my webservice to take parameters on the constructor. If I create a constructor that takes parameters, it is not then shown when I hook up to the webservice from my application (it only shows a parameterless constructor).
im using vb.net to open IE and go to a website... i can figure out how to size the window, but not change the windows location on the screen... how can i make the IE window position always 0,0
Dim oIE As Object Dim hWnd As Long oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")[code].....
I have the Context Menu Options like ( Small Font , Large Font ) based on the selection I want to change the size of the Font in the Controls,Control's Size & location(x,y,height,width). The resize of the controls should not affect the look and feel of the forms.
