Why my label is not scaling properly on DPI change?

229 Views Asked by At

I have created a WinForm along with a Label in Visual Studio 2022:

enter image description here

namespace WinFormsApp1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

Designer:

namespace WinFormsApp1
{
    partial class Form1
    {
        /// <summary>
        ///  Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary>
        ///  Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

        #region Windows Form Designer generated code

        /// <summary>
        ///  Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        ///  the contents of this method with the code editor.

        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            this.label1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();
            this.SuspendLayout();
            //

            this.label1.Name = "label1";
            this.label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(197, 39);
            this.label1.TabIndex = 0;
            this.label1.Text = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.";
            // 
            // Form1
            // 
            this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
            this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
            this.AutoSizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoSizeMode.GrowAndShrink;
            this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(369, 115);
            this.Controls.Add(this.label1);

When run the app, on a 100% (96Dpi) screen:

However, when I move to a larger-scaled screen (175%):

What am I missing to have a proper scaled label on both screens?
