    Question 'Resolution independent vb.net application

    Hi All,
    When I install my VB.net application at client's machine with a different screen resolution setting, the controls on the forms will appear small/distorted according to the resolution.
    Please suggest me how can i make my application 'Resolution independent' ?
    In addition, the labels (which i sent back during design time) will be displayed in front of the text boxes(overlap). Hence the neatness of the form layout is disturbed. Please suggest me a way to always keep textboxes before labels, in case of overlapping labels & textboxes.
    ThanX in advance.....
    Venk

    Usually form are desgined in the lowest resolution possible. By the way try not hiding controls behind each other esp if you are using unicode.

    Look here it may help

    unicode

    Hi,
    This exactly is my prob. I am using UNICODE to display local language. That's why size of the labels (in diff resolutions) can not ne approximated & hence it leads to overlapping!.
    If any suggestions, pls. reply.
    I'll try to find out things from the urls given.
    ThanQ
