Setting the screen resolution through code.

JB
Is there any way to set the screen resolution through code? I'd want to set
it to something 800x600 through a program. We have people who reset the
screen resolution to something the monitor won't handle (These are plasma
screens) and then they can't see anything. We'd like to default it back to
something (through a key stroke) that would be displayable.

TIA - Jeff.

Yes, but it's not part of .NET. You'll need to use p/invoke or write your
own wrapper and access the Win32 API. See ChangeDisplaySe ttings and
related functions.

After exhausting my search on the MS website, I can't find a straight answer. I fin dit hard to believe that MS left our something so useful in ASP.NET as screen resolution detection. Problem: I would like to detect, get values for, the screen resolution in px but in a code behind. Is this possible? There is a System.Windows.Forms.Screen class for the Windows client side, why are there none for browser/ASP.NET client?

Hi, I'm trying to get the screen resolution of the client and to realize a treatment in code behind. it seem to be hard. I can get information about the resolution with this following sub, call in Page_Load.I fix the text of The Control Label. But no treatment is possible. If i try to keep out the text of this label in code behind, i have nothing. The variable is empty.

Hi I'm developing a webpage that needs to include a different stylesheet depending on the screen resolution. I know that I could read the resolution in javascript and then do some sort of stylesheet switcher as part of the onload event but I would rather link in the correct stylesheet for the resolution in the first place.

I want to load a different swf in PHP based on the viewer's screen resolution. All would be fine if I could get the screen resolution in a variable in PHP. Problem is that after I done a bit of a digging that this can be only done through javascript(or so most claim) and to pass the resolution from javascript to PHP you would need to refresh the page again (to put the resolution in the URL or in a coockie) The other solution is to use ajax and...

A lot of users at my workplace use different screen resolutions, and I build apps to use 1680 x 1050 pixels res by default. But some users are using 800 x 600, and the apps are too large for their screen. I used to write code in Java a few years ago (2005), and you could stretch a form with the mouse and all the controls and fonts would resize to larger or smaller size. Does .Net framework 3.5 support this kind of functionality? Or -...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
