How to resize the design view ?

Question

Hi,

I usually use my ThinkPad Notebook, which runs Windows 10 with a docking station. I am currently on the move, without the docking, and the Design View in Visual Studio doesn't appear well. I can't figure out how to have a bigger view of the controls. In the attached picture you can see how small a literal appears on the top left of my screen, or the grid control also appears very small

Any idea ?

Hello @Corobori ,

As I know, there are no such options for resizing the Web Forms Designer.

However, does Web Live Preview(Tools > Options > Web Forms Designer > General > Web Forms designer (requires restart) > Web Live Preview) meet your requirement?

I would also suggest you submit a suggestion ticket on our Developer Community – Visual Studio(kindly share the ticket link here for better tracking if you do submit a suggestion ticket).

Sincerely,

Tianyu

This is a Web Forms designer page? Try Ctrl+Mouse wheel. This zooms in and out in most designers. I just tested it in the VS 2022 Web Forms designer view and it works. Of course if you have custom controls with their own design surfaces then all bets are off.
