You don't. You use the layout controls and the anchor properties of the controls to adjust your layout to fit the resolution.

I won't say "you don't" - but you should know, that it is a lot of work.
You have to calculate the size, the location and the fontsize depending on the actual form-size refering to the developed form-size. But ... this is only the first time to be done, when the form is opened.

As @Wes_Aday said you should use layout control like panel, tablelayoutpanel, splitcontainer etc and set the dock property to 'fill'. Remember, no matter what the user screen size is you should design your application with a mininum form size (eg. 1024x700)
