dual display programming

Rut
Can anyone point me in the direction of some code that allows for
handling two video cards. I want to have a program (vb.net) that
allows for two outputs, one screen will be the my program where I can
choose what is to be shown on the 2nd display.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks. Thats what I'm looking for sorta. Now that I know the screens,
is there a way to make one form show in one screen, another in the 2nd
screen?

Sure, just set the form's Location to the right coordinates. For example, I
have two monitors, both running at 1280x1024. If I want a window to go on
the second monitor, I can set the location to be 1280, 0 and it appears on
the upper left of the second monitor.
