hallo is it possible to fetch the actual native resolution or the resolution ratio of a LCD display attached to the system?

Eg.: i'd want my application to adapt differently if the LCD display is a 4:3 or a 16:9, etc., independently from the Windows' resolution
Thanks!

Try the following code, this is vary simple:

C#

private void GetCurrentScreenResolution()
{
    int intDeskHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height;
    int intDeskWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width;
    MessageBox.Show("Your screen resolution is " + intDeskWidth + "x" + intDeskHeight);

}

NOTE: Thanks to Mika Wendelius, the above code is implement from your suggestion.

You could use System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size.
