Hello,

Thanks a lot

Be careful with changing the resulution, this can cause damage on the
monitor.

The question isn't whether you _can_ change the display properties of the
system, but whether you _should_ do so. Changing the display properties is
considered the sole responsibility of the users or administrators, not that
of applications. Generally, only video driver control panels should allow
this to be done, and they aren't .NET applications because manufacturers
can't depend on the framework being installed.

So why do you think that you want to do this?

Hello,

I always *hated* games which changed the resolution without my explicit
written confirmation.

Maybe it's a game named "Punish the User."

I've heard this question asked many times. Without exception, I've found
that further investigation into the motivation behind such a request has
revealed inappropriate justification for doing so due to ignorance of
Windows standards and conventions. There's always a chance this could be
the rare exception, but I wouldn't bet on it.

The simple answer is the .NET doesn't directly support changing display
properties. You'll have to resort to GDI or DirectPlay API calls, as shown
by Herfried with the ChangeDisplaySettings GDI function.

Games shouldn't change the display properties in Windows, either. They
should typically use IDirectDraw::SetDisplayMode so that they can cooperate
in Windows with different resolution settings. I haven't heard of any
commercial mainstream/best selling games that use .NET, despite the typical
samples, proof-of-concepts and fringe stuff.
