AutoScale works with VS 2005 automatically, but not with 2008 - Why?

[mind_the_gap]

Hello there,

my application was designed for 240x320. With this screen resolution
everything is good - it does not matter if I compile in Visual Studio
2005 or 2008. But when I do tests on a VGA (640x480) Emulator and real
PDA everything is messed up with Visual Studio 2008, but not with
Visual Studio 2005. It seems in Visual Studio 2005 everything is
automatically scaled, in fact I do not find a Property of the Forms do
change something with autoscaling. In VS2008 are such properties like
AutoScaleMode. So I set AutoScaleMode to DPI and all controls were on
the right place - no matter if QVGA or VGA. But the drawings I do in
my program are not scaled and I have no idead how to scale them
without using everywhere a scale factor or rendering in a smaller
image and scale it then up. Do you have any idea on how to accomplish
this?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Ok, I found the answer to my problem in this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...mework/browse_thread/thread/80918cdf14c0ac7f/

If I want the "old way" auto scaling I have to set the auto
AutoScaleMode to "None".

Thanks anyway,
Tom

Well, it turned out that it did not work at all - I accidently worked
in VS 2005 and like said above, there it is working.

I would be verry happy if someone has a hint for me.

Thanks in advance,
Tom
