Set the initial state of the forms to be maximized might work.

In addition, check out the dock and anchor properties of your
controls. Using these can help fill in the "white space" caused by the
extra pixels the larger resolution screens have at the side/bottom.

Also here's a code project article that will save/restore the user's
window settings automatically (including the restore down size). That
way if a user resizes the form to the way he/she wants it it will stay
that way on subsequent openings.

MY application is designed based on 800 X600 screen size.
However, some client use 1024 X768 , When they run the application, the form
become smaller.
I don't want to re-wrtie all the forms
How can I enlarge the form to fit the 1024 X768 ??
thanks a lot

Unless you have a very, /very/ Good Reason for doing so - and if you
think you have, please tell us what it is - don't do this.

The main reason that people run their PC's at a higher resolution is to
get /more/ applications on screen at the /same/ time. Applications
should not, IMHO, rescale themselves to /try/ and look the "the same" at
all resolutions.

They /should/ have the ability to /use/ the extra screen real estate by
stretching suitable controls (e.g. grids) to show more data, but buttons
and text? No.
