WPF will handle it better than WinForms for sure. But even that said, if you have a form that shows correctly on a 13" monitor (laptop), it will be horrible on a 32"
What Eric said is no doubt true, but one point to keep in mind is that you should design it to look good on the smallest screen you need to support.

Yes I understand, but what techniques, properties, etc. do I need to use to accomplish this.  I have only done fixed in the past for a specific screen size/resolution.  Humor me, but I need some meat on this topic please.  Thanks.
