Code:

if (MsgResize == DialogResult.Yes)
{

MessageBox.Show("Form window will now re-size", "TITLE",
MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Information);

// resize code here ----------------------


}

Assuming this dialogbox is being instantiated from the mainform that you want to resize, try using the 'this' variable.

 

10 seconds more and you could have written the code

Code:

this.Size=new Size(x,y);

If you want to set the form size to a percentage of then you will need to get the screen working area using

Code:

Screen.GetWorkingArea(this); [COLOR="SeaGreen"]// returns rect.[/COLOR]

 

I know. I was trying to avoid doing his homework for him. (If that was the case) Otherwise, he'll just learn it better if he does a little research on his own.
