You need to make sure your page is using percentages (100%) instead of layout pixels. That is a safe way of ensuring your page resizes correctly.

You answer is going in right direction (and not what OP probably wants, but your suggestion is better), my 5.
I have a more general idea though; and I'm pretty sure it's the best approach.
Please see my answer.

I would say that generating UI based on screen resolution is a very difficult approach which will get you in trouble. It is bad for every kind of UI development and additionally goes together with ASP.NET model very poorly. This is not who ASP.NET and Web applications normally work, so that would be a big abuse of Web-based technology.

The write approach would be using HTML page design if a way highly tolerant to the screen pixel dimensions. This is quite possible and in fact more feasible alternative.

XML

string whatever = "add your javascript";

Page.RegisterStartupScript("myScript", "<script language=JavaScript>hi('" + whatever + "');</script>");

Yes you should design the pages using % (percentage) units(As Abhinav said)....BTW Take a look at this bunch

Liquid layouts the easy way[^](Recommended)

HTML Layout Guidelines for ASP.NET Web Page Globalization[^]

Get Monitor Screen Resolution with Javascript[^]

Detecting a Client's screen resolution in ASP.NET[^]

Automatic style changes of ASP.NET controls as per client's screen resolution[^]

Interesting and useful references, my 5.
As to a practical approach, I the design based on the knowledge of resolution is wrong.

/*As to a practical approach, I the design based on the knowledge of resolution is wrong.*/
Agree. that's why I gave him "Liquid layouts"(% approach) as 1st link. Other js related links are just for reference.
BTW Thanks SA. Hope you have enjoyed the holidays :)
