I’ve learn how to manage different DPI settings the hard way, so that at runtime my applications are properly displayed.

But there is still a big issue with Design time Visual Studio.
Say I build an application at 96 dpi and I switch my display to 120 dpi for testing purposes.

Now IF I open a form designer at 120 dpi, the form is resized according to 125%, the controls moved aso! :-(((

So I try to avoid reopening forms, but that’s NOT a nice solution, isn’t it?

Is there by any chance a design time setting to prevent form to resize?

    Not a solution but possibly a workaround: do not test on your computer but on a VM or other computer and do not open the solution on a computer with big fonts.

    And we found that we cannot use the AutoScaleMode = Dpi.Font setting. That will randomly resize forms when we open them in the designer. Dpi or None seem to work.
