Programming Monitor positioning

Hi,

When I plug my laptop into my docking station, I want my external monitor to be the attached, and the primary monitor, positioned on the left hand side.

To do this, I have to go into control panel, open display properties, position the monitors, attach, set to primary, then hit ok.

Is there a way to do this in code???

I'd prefer C# .net 3.5 but I'd settle for anything!

This question got closed, so I've reasked it here

A: 

Never tried this before, but see here:

A: 

Use 'Set as primary/default' on your external monitor in display settings. Also use extend my display. I have the same setup at home with my Gateway Vista laptop.

Are you guessing or have you tried this???When I unplug laptop, the laptop display becomes the "primary/default". Whe I plug the laptop back in, the laptop is still the "primary/default"
