How to detect display resolution changes?

Question

I need to identify the changes of the display resolutions in run time. This (Keep track of screen change and screen resolution change in Windows Form Application to change form size) helped me to trigger the event. But I am still unable to get new resolutions of the display.

Can it be achieved using sender and e?

Just get the screen Bounds from the screen itself:

Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds

Or iterate over Screen.AllScreens to get all screens and their dimensions.

Is this what you were looking for? – Patrick Hofman Sep 02 '14 at 10:43
No. I need to do it without iterating through Screen.AllScreens. I mean within the event method itself. – AnoAPI Sep 02 '14 at 11:09
Yes...of course... If a way cannot be found like using sender and e, it would be the answer. – AnoAPI Sep 02 '14 at 11:14
There is no other way. The event handler just doesn't supply that information. – Patrick Hofman Sep 02 '14 at 11:15
@AnoAPI any reason you unaccepted my answer? Need help? – Patrick Hofman Aug 31 '15 at 12:03
@PatrickHofman - You could also use the `Screen.FromControl()` method to get the screen hosting a specific control, assuming that the OP is asking in order to resize something in response to display changes. – theB Aug 31 '15 at 13:20
Indeed. Thanks for the suggestion @theB. – Patrick Hofman Aug 31 '15 at 13:22
