How to perform Form AutoScale in C#

[mylixes]

I am working on a PC with 1280x1024 resolution.
Now, my problem is how could my program automatically adjust its forms and all of the controls if I am going to run my program to other PC/laptop with different resolution?

Currently, I set the AutoScaleMode property of the form to Dpi but it doesn't work

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Windows forms will automatically scale up the form , if its WindowState property is set to Maximized...

so you don't need to worry...

Form WindowState property is not set to Maximized as it should not be. So, how could do that?

so if you set it to Maximized then it will adjust to any screen resolution

I can't set it to Maximized.
I mean, I should not set it to maximized. So how could I auto re-sized the form if the resolution is different without the need of maximizing the form.

Well, if you design your form by setting the anchors on your controls properly, they should resize/position themselves based on the size of the host form.

Would that work for you? It's the "Anchor" property on anything inheriting from Control.

I tried to use anchor already, but it doesn't work as I want it to be.
