and how do you know that monitor is rotated?

as far as changing the movement of mouse goes driver for the monitor handles
the virtual x and y axis with the change in the position (angle) of the
screen (with the help of OS as resolution is still a matter to take care).
if you have access to the position of hardware you can write a driver for
that. as far as C# application goes, it never knows how it is displayed at
the other end.
