Does anyone at all know how to get C# GUI programs to automatically open maximized and fit correctly in whatever screen resolution is on the computer?when I run and maximize the application the tablepage(Control) is not maximize and as well as other controls.please help me with details...
Use the WindowState property: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.windowstate(v=vs.110).aspx
Set the property to Maximized before you show the form.
If you want your controls to resize with the window, use the Anchor and Dock properties in the Forms Designer.
Use Anchor to have a control's edge be a fixed distance from a given edge, and use the Dock property to have a control fill an area.

I want to do full screen application. But when window state maximize it is not my expected result.
Btw I'm new to visual studio
When minimized
When maximized
There's not a standard size. You should check your form to make sure it will work at the different likely screen sizes and aspect ratios.
In your example, you can use the Anchor property of controls to cause them to expand and contract with the form. For example, the "Welcome to WasteAid" section of your form can be put into a container (such as a panel), and the anchors of that container can be set to Top, Bottom, Right. The left side could be set to Top, Bottom, Left. You can anchor controls with a container, or anchor the controls individually without a container. You can drag a corner of the form around in design mode to see how it will work at different sizes and aspect ratios.
I set my control's position on form in resolution like 1280*1024 but when move my program to another computer with same resolution, control's position aren't in right place
why?
You need to use Docking and Anchoring instead of just placing them on the form. This will also help when you re size your form and maximize and restore the form.
Does anyone know how I can prevent my C# winform covering/going on top of the taskbar? My form's border style has been set to "FixedToolWindow" which seems to cause this. I thought about reducing the height of the form, when the user makes the form maximized, but that wouldn't work as people may have different size taskbars.
The Screen class will give you both screen bounds and working area. The working area is the bounds minus the taskbar, so just set your form to be the same location as the Screen's WorkingArea
The working area is the desktop area
of the display, excluding taskbars,
docked windows, and docked tool bars.
I have one form which size is (325,325) and on which one browser is there and the size of the browser is (321,298) means browser is in the middle of the form.And I want to maintain the size of the browser when form is resized like there should be the same difference of the size between form and browser as it was before resized.
Like the previous answers stated, you should Anchor the control.
You should set the Anchor property to Top, Left, Right, Bottom to let the browser grow/shrink when the form is resized, but maintaining the margins.
You should Anchor the control on the form.
Have a look at
Manage WinForm controls using the
Anchor and Dock properties

Anchoring a control to its parent
ensures that the anchored edges remain
in the same position relative to the
edges of the parent container when the
parent container is resized.
Setting the WebBrowser's Dock property to Fill is the correct answer here. This completely eliminates the possibility that you'll have layout problems when you run your program on a machine that has a different system font size or a different video adapter DPI setting.
If you need room for some kind of gadget or toolbar, be sure to dock it as well (usually Top). Use Format + Order if the browser ends up underneath the gadget.
Use the control's Anchor property to anchor it to all 4 edges of the form. The control will automatically change it's size when the parent form resizes then.
The MSDN article explains the basics. Google finds quite a few interesting links as well.
I have a Windows Form with a default size of 1100x400, and I have a DataGridView control on it anchored to Top, Left, Bottom, Right.
Resizing the form on a screen with resolution higher than 1100x400 works fine, and the anchoring works well, resizing the DataGridView control as expected.
When I launch the form on a screen with resolution 800x600, the form is cut off, and made to fit the 800x600. The DataGridView is cut off, and cannot be seen entirely - it bleeds off the form to the right, so it's not respecting the right anchor. Resizing the form in this situation doesn't respect the anchoring settings for some reason: the DataGridView control does not resize when the form is resized.
Is there a way programmatically (on a resize event or something) to force the child DataGridView control to anchor to the sides of the form?
I've already tried calling a PerformLayout and Refresh in the Form's resize event but it's rather redundant, isn't it?
I would recommend you to play with MinimumSize/MaximumSize of the form and controls
We usually set MinimumSize for the form and controls to the value, when we can see at least small part of each control. There is no use to allow resizing a form to the size, when you cannot do any usefull work with the controls on it
As for MaximumSize for the form - I'll recommend you to try setting this value on Form_Load to be less or equal current screen resolution or current working area (which is the screen area without taskbars, docked windows, etc.)
