I have a VB.NET Windows Forms application which uses as a splash screen
a Form which I want to cover, exactly and entirely, with a specified
..jpg PictureBox.
So I specified the Form, the PictureBox and the .jpg image as having
exactly the same sizes - 820 wide by 460 deep.
This works perfectly on my development machine and on my Laptop, both of
which run at fairly high screen resolutions.
But when I copy the compiled application to my back-up Desktop machine,
which uses a somewhat lower screen resolution (and has a CRT instead of
a flat monitor), and run it there, the underlying Form shows up as
substantially bigger vertically than the PictureBox, and a couple of
drop-down list controls on the Form appear well below the textual
information (which is actually part of the PictureBox) which is supposed
to explain their use.
What causes this, and how do I avoid it happening?
