    // Set the server to connect to.
    myClientControlObject.Settings.SetRdpProperty("Full Address", serverName);

    // Set the desktop resolution.
    myClientControlObject.Settings.SetRdpProperty("DesktopWidth", desktopWidth);
    myClientControlObject.Settings.SetRdpProperty("DesktopHeight", desktopHeight);

    // Turn ON microphone redirection.
    myClientControlObject.Settings.SetRdpProperty("AudioCaptureMode", true);
