    Setting Primary Display

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set the Primary Display...without success!
    Here's the code I'm working on, would you please help me see what I'm doing wrong there?
    There's no compilation error...it simply doesn't give the expected result!
    Thank you!!

    Code:
    Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
    Class MainWindow
