Hi,

Usually I am a web developer so this is probably a very novice question. I recently made an app in VB2008, but I developed it in a huge reso (1920x1200). The person that will be using it still uses 800x600 reso. Is there any simple way I can resize the entire interface to fit any resolution? I didn't really think about it at all while I was making the program.

A: 

I'm not sure if there's any simple way of changing your application. If you were writing an application from scratch I'd suggest looking at the Dock, Anchor, MinSize and MaxSize properties of the controls, all of which are quite useful to make them resize according to the total size of the application. Could be a bit annoying if you have to go in and change them all manually now though.

There's also the TableLayoutPanel control, you can read about it here.
