It would at least be nice (if it doesn't exist already) that a readonly
DesignDPI property is added to the forms and frames? For a WinCE
application where I need to support different DPIs I'm hardcoding my own
DPI value into the code, but this will break if a colleague should edit or
add one form/frame on a computer with different DPI settings... So it would
be nice if I could rely on the form/frame telling me in which DPI setting
it was last edited...
