hi,

VB.net, asp.net, VS2010

i have made a site that displays various data in a gridview.
but the problem is that different screens that are being used are at different resolutions so i have to go to the user and set up the zoom level so that the page displays as desired.

is there any way to set the zoom level to what i require like 75% or 100% within an asp.net page?

thanks
Joe

You can use JavaScript for setting the zoom level

Try this:

JavaScript

function SetResolution()
{
if(screen.width=1280)
  {
     var wdth = 1024; //Change this variable to match your configuration
     document.body.style.zoom = screen.width/1024;
  }
}

You can put this code inside the body of .aspx and can call it like this:

HTML

<body  onload="SetResolution()">

hope it helps :)
