If your application is changing the screen resolution, it's doing something VERY VERY BAD. Changing the resolution will result in the users Desktop icons being rearranged against his/her will and will interfere with other applications the user may be running at the same time.

Windows is a shared system and your application must respect that. You can NOT go changing the screen resolution just because your application doesn't scale well to various resolutions and DPI's.

There is no such code - it is extremely difficult to do in WinForms - think about it, you have to resize every control, and every control's text font to fit. Generally, not worth the effort. Pick a size, and stick with it.

Alternatively, you could use WPF, which copes very nicely with this kind of thing. Big learning curve, though...
