Is there a way to fake the Framework into thing that the user is running at 120 DPI (large) instead of 96 DPI (normal)? Having to reboot every time just to see that the layout is working correctly is a pain!

Are there any known bugs or gotcha's in autosizing?  I'm having a horrible time with a complicated dialog trying to figure out why some seem to work and some don't. It is more than just setting autosize true.

Suggestions please.

You can manually scale via the following code on form,

// hack to workaround a bug this.AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.Inherit this.Scale SizeF(1.5F, 1.5F));

In later drops (built after 6/2, we fixed this bug and you should be able to simply call Scale();

I got the auto-sizing working quite nicely by switching to DPI from font (the default?) as the way to do the sizing.

However, the question remains is there a way to fake the system out so that it can be checked out  on the same box?

How about something like a load event whose code body is skipped at design time and sets a fake autosize factor?????
