Changing Windows Wallpaper using Managed Code? [Resolved]

[Ideas Man]

In VB6 i have this terrific piece of code that i use to change the Windows wallpaper. It changes JPEGs, BMPs etc. How would i do this in VB.NET 2003? Any ideas?

Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias _
  "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, _
  ByVal lpvParam As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
 
 
Private Const SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE = &H2
Private Const SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE = &H1
Private Const SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER = 20

SavePicture pPicture, "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\Current Wallpaper.bmp"
    
    ret = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, ByVal "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\Current Wallpaper.bmp", _
    SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE Or SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE)

Just look in MSDN under API functions and you should be able to find a way to wrap the declaration in a way that works from vb.net.

I have no idea how to do that, i found this code while searching a couple of months back

Although having said that, I just tried it myself and it wouldnt show the new picture, it wouls get rid of the old one and show nothing instead.

Odd, no errors though. Curious.

Well there might be more ot it than that, it's broken up when i got the code to do various things in different places. If all or part of it can't be managed code, i spose it'll have to do, but i'd think that some of it could be managed code.

Oh pPicture has to be a path I think too, the path to the source picture.

Don't worry about my code, i just realised it's all over the place doing differnet things lol, can't even remember how it worked . Anyway i gave up trying to find a managed solution, i figure there isn't any unfortunatly, so i used the code found here: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ferrerid=35425 that MrGTI posted for all those looking. It works, but I'd still rather be managed code. Never mind.
