dotnet compact framework 3.5 sp1 detect device resolution

Question

I need to detect the device resolution automatically, right now I have a global var & hardwire the resolution:

Public gDeviceRes As String = "640"
'Public gDeviceRes As String = "320"

then recompile for each device, does anyone have a quick snippit of code for this??

Answer 1

Depending on your exact needs, you can check the current screen dimensions with Screen.PrimaryScreen or you can P/Invoke GetSystemMetrics with SM_CXSCREEN or GetDeviceCaps with HORZRES. Vertical dimesions are similarly available.

Answer 2

This did exactly what i needed:

  Dim screensize As System.Drawing.Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
  Public gDeviceRes As String = screensize.Height
