Landscape mode questions

[Beebs]

I have a few basic questions about landscape mode and am looking for
the simplest ways possible to achieve them.

1) How do I layout a landscape only form in VS. Do I just design it
the long way or how else?

2) I need some forms only in landscape and others only in portrait
mode. If I lay them out as I mentioned above, will screen orientation
change automatically as I go from form to form based on its original
design?

3) A little off this topic, how do I enable my application to also be
compatible with VGA screens?

Thanks, and as I said above, be clear and as simple as possible, I've
never worked with these features before.

Thanks

Have a look at:

and

Right now, you pretty much have to deal with the orientation with different
InitalizeComponent
methods to handle each. With VS2005 and CF2, you have managed APIs that
allow you
to determing orientation and screen resoltuion, you have control docking,
etc to make this
easier.
