Hello

I'm using .NET CF 1, and I want to know if the screen size is 320x240 or
640x480

If I use me.width then it's always 240 even if the real resolutaion is
480.....

You can retrieve the screen size using
System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds

If you have a hi-dpi device it will return legacy 240x320 resolution
using the compatibility layer unless your exe is marked as hi-dpi
aware by using an embedded resource. You can use the Res2Exe tool in
this download:-

This raises a question ....that download appears to be for VS2003, is it
still current for VS 2005? I am often confused about downloads like this,
wondering whether the web page just needs updating (i.e. no reference
to VS 2005).

From my testing it is still necessary to perform this process on a .NETCF
v1.0 app created with VS2005. A .NETCF v2.0 project will have this resource
added to it (and .NETCF v2.0's docking/anchoring support makes it easier to
cater for size differences).
