Controling Graphics card hardware with C#

Hello,

is there ways to access hardware from C#? In particluar, I am looking
to change screen luminosity (or brightness/contrast values) from
within a C# program.

Hardware drivers / control panels can do that, but I'm not sure how to
access these features... any idea which direction to look for?

Thanks

Brightness or contrast would be a vendor-specific adjustment. Both ATI
and nVidia have SDKs that would likely allow access to these features.
You should be able to call their DLLs from C# just like you would call
any other DLL.

Perhaps, there is no bigger sleazy company in the entire Maple Republic ( Canada ) than Matrox Graphics Inc. I paid $100+ through my nose circa 1999 for Matrox Millenium II and Mystique.

The question is, aren't there available now hardware cards that you can load with particular...

Using: VS 2003 NET C# for Framework and Framework Compact Trying : Moving a Card (Bitmap) as in Solitare (PC + WinCe) Version on OnMouseMove Problem : The affected drawing Area by Invalidate (or Invalidate(Rectangle)) flickers in a nasty way when repainting. This does not happen in the Solitare (PC + WinCe) Versions a well as in a Card game where I have the C++ Source. The use of an empty OnPaintBackground brings no visable results.

Could someone explain how this works. I think the graphics card is used to do blitting and drawing shapes like rectangles. How does it draw using the Graphics card on the PC and why is this feature left out of GDI+?. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
