Screen resolution?
Windows Forms in .NET 2.0 has some mechanisms for dealing with different DPI and it has a better layout system than in .NET 1.1. In general, use layout panels like FlowLayoutPanel, TableLayoutPanel, etc instead of fixing your controls at X/Y coordinates and you’ll have a much easier time dealing with different window sizes.
If you can use WPF which I don’t recall being applicable to Visual Studio 2005, then you have much more options for resolution independence. The DPI issue goes away and WPF has features such as ViewBox that lets you scale an entire window or control uniformly.
