    screen size

    what is the best way to deal with different screen resolutions? I develop in a 1280x1084 resolution. Everything looks nice on my machine, but when I install my app on a machine thats 800x600, a textbox looks like the size of the monitor....just wondering how everyone deals with this situation?
    It's tough being an unhandled exception...

    Use the Anchor and Dock properties of your controls to allow everything to resize gracefully. You app should look good on all possible screen resolutions. To test during development, make your main window resizable and drag it to different sizes with the mouse.
