Problems with PrimaryScreen.Size
It could be your Dpi
setting in windows set above 100%
Try using this method, this will scale the resolution to the current system Dpi settings
Winforms:
private Size GetDpiSafeResolution()
{
using (Graphics graphics = this.CreateGraphics())
{
return new Size((Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width * (int)graphics.DpiX) / 96
, (Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height * (int)graphics.DpiY) / 96);
}
}
WPF:
private Size GetDpiSafeResolution()
{
PresentationSource _presentationSource = PresentationSource.FromVisual(Application.Current.MainWindow);
Matrix matix = _presentationSource.CompositionTarget.TransformToDevice;
return new System.Windows.Size(
System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth * matix.M22,
System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenHeight * matix.M11);
}
Note: Make sure your MainWindow is loaded before running this code
I don't feel this is a duplicate question, but the answer is the same as on another thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13228495/353147 As the question isn't about blurry fonts but why Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size returns faulty information. It could help others.
I did run into an error message, that mscorlib threw an null error. From this thread http://forums.asp.net/t/1653876.aspx/1 I was able to discover that unchecking "Enable ClickOnce security settings" fixed it. This seems like a hack, but it works.
