Debug .NET WinForms applications under 120dpi

Question

I currently use a VMware virtual machine (Windows XP) to debug my .NET WinForms applications under 120dpi. Very annoying.

Does anybody know a way that gives me similar results under my 96dpi working environment? That is, can 120dpi mode be activated for a single process, or is there a switch in Windows Forms?

Answer 1

You can use Form Font property. By default WinForm form scale itself when Font property changed, something like that:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
    Font = new Font("Arial", 14);
}

Don't forget to read about AutoScaleMode property and in general about autoscaling in MSDN.
