Question

Hopefully this is a simple one, but can anyone provide some simple c# code that will launch the currently configured screensaver?

Answer 1

Here is a good site showing how to work with all aspects of the screensaver. See the comments at the end for the code to start the screensaver.

    [DllImport('user32.dll', EntryPoint = 'GetDesktopWindow')]     private static extern IntPtr GetDesktopWindow();      [DllImport('user32.dll')]     private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, int wParam, int lParam);      //...      private const int SC_SCREENSAVE = 0xF140;     private const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;      //...      public static void SetScreenSaverRunning()     {     SendMessage  (GetDesktopWindow(), WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, 0); }
