Handling different DPI in winform application

[parez]

HI,

Whats the best way of handling a DPI which is different from
development machine?
In my current case resolution is not an issue as all machines have the
same resoluation..

Should i get the DPI on the machine that is running the application
and then appropriate resize the font?

TIA

It depends, among other things, on how you constructed your form(s).
Tactical use of Anchor and Dock properties and Layout Panels may help.

Theoretically the best approach would be setting Form.AutoScale=DPI but
I have better experience with the (default) Font setting. You will have
to test is once in a while though.

That is already being done for you.
