Answer 1

Handle the following event:

Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.DisplaySettingsChanged

You may refer to this page for more details.

To learn about the SystemEvents class, see this and this.

Answer 2

There are two events - SystemEvents.DisplaySettingsChanged and SystemEvents.DisplayedSettingsChanging which you can handle. Note that both events are static and you will need to detach your handlers before exiting from your program.

Thank you! This place is much better than MSDN or Google to get fast answers.
