Yes, thank you. Fortunately all I need to do is pull some data from them and make copies in SQL Server, but I still need to be sure that my data access library works with them.

You shouldn't be doing this at all. Changing the resolution is a system wide setting that, if done, affects the layout of any icons that are on the desktop and changes the resolution for all applications that are running. This is not a friendly thing to do. If you're doing this for a game, I highly suggest using DirectX/XNA to do this instead.

Hi, First you need to create public methods in the DLL. if you don't have any public method then you can not call it. 1. To use any DLL in your project first you need to add it in the project in Solution Explorer-> Project -> References -> right click and select "Add References" and select dll you want to use. 2. Then in your form add create object of the dll class and then use its method. ie. DllName obj = new DllName(); obj.MethodName(); Hope this will help you. Regards, Nilesh Shah

I gave you a link to article on Context Menu's yesterday when you asked this question. Now that you know what to look for, have you tried doing some of your own research using google / codeproject etc? Start writing your own code now, and come back when you have a specific problem.

Read up on CreateFile[^]. I think the section you're interested in is about half way down, under "Physical Disks and Volumes". There is no ".NET way" to do this. You have to P/Invoke the Win32 functions directly to accomplish this. There an article here [^]on CP about it, but it's not written very well. and a quick Google for "read disk sectors vb.net" comes up with these[^].
