Form size different

[steve]

I have a c# windows forms app that runs fine on my laptop. The form is
1024x768 with no border, and when I run it on my laptop with 1024x768 screen
resolution it fills the whole screen perfectly. The problem is, when I run
the same application on two other machines that have the screen resolution
set to 1024x768, it doesn't fill the whole screen. In fact, the black
border that I had around the form only shows on the top and left side of the
form. Any ideas on why this is happening?

The laptop and the normal machines use different number of dpi.

Thanks. So I would probably be best off developing the c# app on a normal
machine.

Yes.

Actually, solved my problem by just changing the dpi to normal 96 dpi on the
laptop. Now everything works great.
Thanks for you input.

That will work too. Nevertheless, I still don't know about a
"workaround" for simply editing the forms on machines with different #
of dpi.
