Screen resolution and screen resolution.

I have some machines that apparently are having the screen resolution
changed based on group policies ( this is what my Network Engineer is
telling me ). These machines are at customer sites so we can't see what it
going on.

The problem is, or at least appears to be, that the code is returning
different dimensions then what is really out there. The code I'm using to
find out the dimensions is:

System.Drawing. Rectangle workingRectangl e = Screen.PrimaryS creen.Bounds;
string lsScreenDimensi ons = workingRectangl e.Width.ToStrin g() + " x " +
workingRectangl e.Height.ToStri ng();

If I look at the screen dimensions, it appears to be different then what the
screen actually is set to.

Does this make sense?

Anybody have any thoughts.

TIA - Jeff.

Hello all: To deal with the problem of differing user screen resolutions, I've explored: 1) making the pages in PHP, 2) having different pages on the same page and selecting the proper one via JavaScript, and 3) using fancy redirects and forced "back skip" redirects with cookies. Every approach has some fatal flaw as far as I have been able to persue it. My most recent idea is to make multiple style sheets (selectable via javascript...

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?

I need some help with some VB language that will change the screen resolution on a monitor when a MS-Access 2000 database is opened from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600. Any help with this effort would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance....

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.

I am wondering how (if it is possible of course) I can change a users screen resolution to a certain size when running my application and then change it back when they exit my application. For instance, if the users screen size is 800x600, I want the resolution to change to 1260x780 when running my program and then change back to 800x600 when exiting my program. Thanks, Darian

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.

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 -...

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,...
