Setting the wallpaper from C# code

Hi Friends,

What if you want to change the wallpaper of your desktop from C#.Net. for that you have to use Unmanaged code.

You have to import and pass parameters to function from User32 dll.

Here I am posting the code for performing the same.

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]

static extern int SystemParametersInfo(int Action, int Param, string lParam, int WinIni);

call the function and pass some useful parameters like ...

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(Image.FromFile(@"C:\mytest.jpg"));

bmp.Save("MyFile.Bmp", ImageFormat.Bmp);

SystemParametersInfo(20, 0, "pic.bmp", 0x1);

The first parameter 20 is for Wallpaper
Third parameter is your file path as String.
Last is Update parameter keep it 0X1, 0X01 | 0X02 ..

Note:- Here you see that I am converting the jpeg file into bmp file. Because it state that image should be 24 bits, so keep in mind the change of file else no effect of this function.
