See client screen

[Shoaib Hasan]

I want to develop application in user administrator can see client screen, is it possible?!
I think it is possible if I get data that transfer to display card in client system and transfer it with winscok control and server capture it and display it. Any Idea!

The best choice is PCanywhere. BUt if you want to create a custom app to see the remote computer you can use winsock. The Server will capture the screen every n seconds, save it to the file, zip it and send to the client. Client on DataArrival event will unzip it and load picture of the server.

Nice idea.

Another solution is to use third party software, that other guy (Iouri I believe, if not, sorry) mentioned PCAnywhere, which is good. But I would suggest Funk Proxy, this is a real great application that even comes with a Typelibrary, so you can access it from withing your very own VB application.

If you do want to write it yourself, find some code that takes a screenprint (I do mean find, the board has a number of post on this matter, so don't ask again, please), save that screenprint to file (again, should be on the board), and then send that file using winsock (not sure if that's on the board, but check anyway).
On the other side, write the things you are getting in to file, and open that file in a picturebox.
