# SetDeviceGammaRamp

### C# Signature:

```cs
[DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
public static extern bool SetDeviceGammaRamp(IntPtr hDC, ref RAMP lpRamp);
```

### User-Defined Types:

```cs
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)] 
public struct RAMP
{
  [ MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=256)] 
  public UInt16[] Red;
  [ MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=256)] 
  public UInt16[] Green;
  [ MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst=256)] 
  public UInt16[] Blue;
}
```

### Sample Code:

```cs
using System.Collections;
using System;
