Make vb.net application DPI aware

问题

I need to make my vb.net app scale up properly on any DPI setting. Currently it gets messed up if the setting is anything other than standard.

Everything i found refers either to c# or to older versions of VB or to Visual Studio Pro and are not compatible to the version I am using.

I am on Visual studio express 2013.

Thanks

Taken from the article WinForms scaling at large DPI settings – is it even possible? on the Telerik web page

Declaring the DPI awareness is done in a manifest file.
You can use the following markup to set the dpiAware flag. Possible values are True for DPI-aware app, False for non-DPI-aware app and True/PM for per-monitor-DPI-aware app.

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" >
   <asmv3:application>
        <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
             <dpiAware>true</dpiAware>
        </asmv3:windowsSettings>
   </asmv3:application>
</assembly>

The WinForms platform has its own scaling mechanism which calculates the scaling difference between the system that the form has been designed on and the system it is running on. Then it modifies the size and the location of all controls according to the calculated factor. Note that this scaling will only trigger if your application declares to be DPI-aware, otherwise it will be rendered in the 96 DPI sandbox and the bitmap scaling of the OS will be used.
