.NET Forum / Languages / C# / August 2007what resolution is recommended for developing c# websites...
On my development computer, the new site looks and acts great. But when I ask a coleage to check it, the pages never look right: example: 1. the gridviews are always overlaping text. 2. some of the controls are in various places on the page like where they should not be. I have (what appears to be) the tables, rows, columns and cells set correctly. Any help is very appreciated. Thanks, Trint trint, This isn't really a C# language issue, it's more of a generic ASP.NET issue and probably would have been better placed in the ASP.NET group. All I can ask is -- are you using VS 2005 with the built in web dev server, or are you using IIS? If IIS, should not see these problems. -- Peter Recursion: see Recursion site: http://www.eggheadcafe.com unBlog: http://petesbloggerama.blogspot.com BlogMetaFinder: http://www.blogmetafinder.com > On my development computer, the new site looks and acts great. > But when I ask a coleage to check it, the pages never look right: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks, > Trint > On my development computer, the new site looks and acts great. > But when I ask a coleage to check it, the pages never look right: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks, > Trint Don't build the site for a specific screen resolution. Try it out with the browser window in different sizes. You don't have to have the browser maximised, you know... You should also try what happens when you resize the browser window. That tells you a lot about what happens at different sizes. Select a minimum resolution that you expect your visitors to have, like 800x600 or 1024x768, depending on the target audience. Make sure that the site works well at that size and above, and that it is at least usable for the few that might have a lower resolution. Generally your site would have a minimum size for the content, so that scroll bars appear if the browser window is too small. Remember that scrolling vertically is very common, while having to scroll horisontally is quite irritating.

Trint Hi, I have read that the recommended standard is 1024x768 , but there are still people recommending 800x600 so this is not by far a exact number. > On my development computer, the new site looks and acts great. > But when I ask a coleage to check it, the pages never look right: > example: > > 1. the gridviews are always overlaping text.
