What API call would I use to change brightness of laptop (.NET)?

I have Windows Server 2008 installed on a Sony laptop and the brightness control doesn't work. I'd like to write a program to allow me to change it.

Currently what I have to do is open the Power control panel, click advanced settings, and fight through so many UAC boxes that anybody watching me must think I'm completely crazy.

I just want a simple little program to do it but I don't know what API to call.

.net winapi brightness

Just a brainstormer here... On the laptop you can change the brightness using some key-kombinations on the keyboard. It should be possible to send those keyspresses If you just want to make it darker/lighter and not have to set it to a specific value.
