vb form appears differently compiled than when being developed

[fiat2]

When the .dll is being developed in Visual Studio, a vb form from that .dll appears one way, (textbox size, label placement, etc.) than when compiled and hosted in an application.

Any suggestions as to what may cause this?

Need an example. Can you post a couple screenshots?

I should have been more informative...this question was poised to me by a colleague of mine..seriously.

Well, then to speak in generalities, the first thing that comes to mind is that the application was developed such that the placement and size of objects are relative to the size of the form, and therefore, the screen resolution of the client. There are several things which could affect this.

For example, if you have a Cancel button anchored to the bottom right of your form, then if the form becomes smaller, it could crowd up into other controls.

I greatly appreciate the information you have provided considering my lack of information that I can provide.
