Change display setting of monitor use vb.net

I'm building a application but it only work well on display setting
1024x768. I want to change display setting of monitor when form load
from 800x600 (if display setting monitor of user is 800x600) to
1024x768 by using vb.net. Can you help me?

Probably, but I won't. This would be a horrible thing for an
application to do. If you find yourself unable to write an application
that fits in an 800x600 screen, then state '1024x768 required' in your
requirements, and _at most_ display a message and quit if you find
yourself launched in a smaller screen. If the user is running in
800x600, maybe, just maybe, it's because they want to / HAVE to ?
