hi, try this

CWsScreenDevice& iScreen = *(iCoeEnv->ScreenDevice());

TSize res = iScreen.SizeInPixels();

//"res" now cintent the actual resolution.....

TSize visuale1(176,208);
TSize visuale2(208,176);
TSize visuale3(240,320);
TSize visuale4(320,240);
TSize visuale5(352,416);
TSize visuale6(416,352);
if (res == visuale1)
{
// add code...............
}

Hi,
I had a similar problem. To get over it I did the following..

HandleResourceChangeL(TInt aType)
{
CAknAppUi::HandleResourceChangeL( aType );

if ( aType==KEikDynamicLayoutVariantSwitch )
{...}

}

However I could not reliablytell the current orientation so I used the function
TSize size; AknLayoutUtils::LayoutMetricsSize(AknLayoutUtils::EScreen, size);

In general on most devices that I know of the width in portrait is always less than landscape and the height is always greater than landscape. In this fashion you can determine the layout.
