Programmaticaly enable stereoscopic 3D in the graphic card

Question

We have a NVIDIA Quadro 5000 and want to set at the beginning of our C#-program the following settings in the graphics card, so that the screen automatically detects the 3D application.

The following settings need to be set:

• Stereoscopic Settings: Enable Stereoscopic 3D
• stereo display mode: Generic Active Stereo
• Enable Stereo: On
• Vertical Sync: On

Is this possible, maybe even with XNA?

I had the same problem a while ago and found that you can use an API called NVAPI provided by Nvidia. Please see this topic: How do you prevent Nvidia's 3D Vision from kicking in? (HOW TO CALL NVAPI FROM .NET)
