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....

I think I placed this in the wrong news group so I'm moving it here. Suggestion to Microsoft make the categories more clear and make better sense. ASP.NET should be its own group, why bury under Framework. And I see others doing the same mis-posting to dotnet.general which appears to be gearded more towards windows applications. What are General and Framework for options under .NET Development! After exhausting my search on the MS...

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

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 -...
