VB2008 Resolution-based resizing

Question

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.

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 .
