VGA or QVGA?

[Michael Coelsch]

I am a little confused about what FormFactor to chose for my new
applications in VS 2005. This App should run on VGA and QVGA devices.

Would it be a mistake to chose VGA resolution generally and set AutoScale to
DPI and AutoScroll to false?

It seems to me that with these settings i would always be on the save side?
Right?

I have been using autoscale set to DPI as you say but with a QVGA screen.
You may have to set AutoScroll to true though, so allowing for square
screens. I have also been setting all the anchor properties accordingly.

This all works for me.

I tend to do this, set DPI, design screens in VGA mode as most devices today
support 640x480 but design screens to fit within 240x240 if static objects or
use the anchoring property if I require the object to fill the screen.
This is because end user don't tend to like to scroll screens to see objects.

Cheers
