Hi,
I'm building an application in VB.NET that can only be started if the
available desktop space is sufficient. This means that when the user starts
the application it has to check 2 things:
1. Does the screen resolution comply to the minimum resolution?
2. What's the height of the taskbar?
Does anyone know how to do this?

I would do this. Put a label on your form and test this
Dim screen as System.Windows. Forms.Screen =
System.Windows. Forms.Screen.Pr imaryScreen.
Label1.Text = screen.WorkingA rea.ToString
This will retrun the working area of the screen. You should be able to make
all you decisions off of this. If the task bar is viewable and a normal
height, this will take that into account. For example, if the screen is
1024x768 and the taskbar is at its normal settings, this line will return
1024x740. If the taskbar is hidden it will return 1024x768. If its strechedm
it will adjust and return the results I think you are looking for.
I hope this helps,

Jerel,
thanks for the information.
I also found another way which also works fine (allmost the same):
Dim frmWorkingArea As New Form
Dim rctWorkingarea As New Rectangle
rctWorkingarea = Screen.PrimaryS creen.GetWorkin gArea(frmWorkin gArea)
frmWorkingArea. Close()
With rctWorkingArea. Width you will get the width, with
rctWorkingArea. Height you will get the height.

I have been able to determine the resolution on the users machine, but
i am looking for a way to force the resolution to 1024 X 768 if it is
not that already in VB.NET. Can someone please help me with this.
Also, is
there a way to progromatically move the users taskbar back to the top
or the bottom if it is located on either the left or right side of the
screen? Thanks.

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.

Can screen resolution be detected with server code (in Page_Load) ?
I have tried this:
public int Width =
Convert.ToInt32(System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width);
public int Height =
Convert.ToInt32(System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height);
and sure enough, I get a couple of numbers; Width=1024 and Height=738 when
running at 1024x768 - but I also get the same numbers when running at

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
