probably you can use a lower version of VS, but AFAIK, the designer isn't compatible. NET 4 to run the program and VS2010 to change the code. NET 4 for building - therefore, you will need. In case of an incompatible system, a message will pop up and the program will quit. I've tested the program on Win7 (x86) - AFAIK, it won't work on ordinary PCs, as they don't have the necessary hardware support for this. O.K., whatever - enough blabla :) Using the Code/Program The Program Later on, I realized that I should have taken a closer look at the IOCTL_VIDEO_QUERY_DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS Control site as Microsoft says here that this control is no longer supported and one should use the WmiMonitorBrightness Class. but this thread was closed and I found no way to contact him - *lol* - so I tried another workaround some people suggested and screwed up my gamma and contrast settings - haha - finally I found this page of Samuel Lai - he made a simple sidebar gadget using WMI to access the screen brightness control and also provided some code - funny, as during my search I often read people saying that there is no support in C#. First, I hit on the IOCTL_VIDEO_QUERY_DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS Control but many people struggled with invoking it in C# - in fact, I found only one person that seemed to have managed it. So I searched the web for a simple solution - but had no success.
