Monitor resolution independence

I have an application where a 3rd party viewer is displayed next to a VB2005 app. I was told that the viewer needs to occupy the
left 2/3 of the screen and the app the right 1/3. Is there something built in that will allow me to dynamically scale the forms
and all contained controls based on the monitor resolution. I already can detect the number of monitors and the resolutions. I
tried Me.Scale(..) and Me.ScaleControl(...) in the form load event, but that didn't work. Can someone please help me?

As the problem is not specific to the VB.Net language, you could try the
..Net Framework group:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms
