Hi
You can change Screen resolution as per your application.
so you can change Window Resolution when your application starts.At time of Exit you can set old Resolution.
Here is Code, i found it on net.
Code Block
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
' see msdn on "Changing Screen Orientation Programmatically" for tablet pc.
' note: I couldn't change orientation on xp, or find anyone claiming they could!

I am using this code. and it works fine.
if you got any error, let me know.
Thank You.
