A: 

Your question is a bit ambiguous, but I'll take a stab at it.

Apparent control size (how big it looks to your eye) if affected byt a few things. The obvious are things like Dock and Achor properties, which are well documented online and are the same as for the desktop. What is less obvious is scaling. Some PDAs have a 240x320 display, while others may have 480x640 yet with the same physical dimension screen.

The platform can attempt to have your single Form code work for both by doing "pixel doubling" which essentially just doubles all of your size values. This tends to end up with graininess and I think it was turned off by default starting with WinMo 6.

To adjust this behavior, you can adjust your Form's AutoScaleMode property.
