hello,

I have 2 monitors and I need to write some code that will set the
primary display from one monitor to the other. I am reffering to the
option under the display properties "use this device as primary
monitor". How would I set that in vb.net?

I think it is not part of the framework. Use API function
ChangeDisplaySettings or ChangeDisplaySettingsEx.

Have a look here:
