Resizing Forms & COntrols

Can someone tell me which forum to post this to please.....

I'm just starting to rewrite an existing system in VB.net 2005. It was originally created in VB3 ! - for 640 x 480 monitors, and very fixed in format. I want to create the individual Windows forms so that they can still be used at this resolution (as we have existing clients with old kit) - but won't others to be able to size to as large as they want - but retain the look of the form - ie resize everthying on the form in proportion to the window. Just resizing the form tends to leave big gaps and makes the whole thing ugly.

Better still would be to create the new ones in 1024 x nnn and allow them to resize smaller - keeping everything there but at a smaller font.

Any help appreciated

Phil

It depends on the layout of your form. In general, use the Anchor property of the controls on your form to anchor them to the appropriate side(s) of the form, so that they will grow and shrink as the user resizes the form.
