So far, taking a screen capture of layer one of the screen and sending keystrokes has been relatively straight forward, but that's about to change with the cursor because the mouse pointer is not shown on layer one of the screen so therefore it is not captured when taking a screen-shot. The service also starts another thread that binds to the main socket to wait for incoming requests that are pushed to it from the client when a keystroke is made or the mouse cursor is moved or clicked on the client that then need to be replicated on the server using Sendkeys(ch) or Cursor.Position = new Point(x, y)

The Windows desktop screen is not like a PC-Paint image and is more like Photoshop that contains layers which means that the above code will not capture any annoying Windows pop-up messages that ask if you would like to run a process as the administrator so the best thing here to do here is to just turn the UAC security settings off in Windows which is most likely turned off already because it's about the only way to make applications not written by Microsoft work in Windows without getting lots of warning messages. Note from the above code that two pixels in the image are changed so that we can send additional data back to the client including the type of current Windows mouse pointer which I will come back to in more detail later.

Screeny.SetPixel( 0, 1, Color.Black) // Set another hidden pixel // so the client know we are in Metro mode else Screeny.SetPixel( 0, 0, C) // Set a pixels color that is based on the current mouse pointer if ( this.IsMetro) // Windows metro mode ( ref X, ref Y, theShot, this.ScreenServerX, this.ScreenServerY) , this.Padding, this.Padding, Sz, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy) ( this.ScreenServerX + this.Padding, this.ScreenServerY + this.Padding) Graphics theShot = Graphics.FromImage(screeny) This.Padding, this.ScreenServerY + this.Padding, this.ImageResoloution)

The server runs a service on a new thread from a hidden form that waits for a TCP request to come in on port 4000 by default using a that then connects to the client and enters a loop that takes a screen shot of the screen that is then serialized and sent back across the wire as a System.IO.MemoryStream using the code below.Р”В¬opy Code BinaryFormatter bFormat = new BinaryFormatter() Р”В«itmap screeny = new Bitmap( this.ScreenServerX +

WINDOWS REMOTE DESKTOP CLIENT SAVE WINDOWS POSITION UPGRADE

Well, if Microsoft thought that I was about to pay them to upgrade these devices just to get remote desktop working more than the devices cost in the first place, then they were very wrong indeed so I soon set about building my own remote desktop for free.

I recently purchased two HP 7 Stream tablets for the kids only to find that my fingers were a bit too big to administer the devices and that my eyesight was not as good as it used to be so I cranked up Microsoft remote desktop so that I could lock these devices down using my laptop and soon discovered that the free Bing 8 version of Windows would not allow this to work without upgrading Windows. This project is a full remote desktop application which is very similar to Microsoft remote desktop that was written using VS2010 and C# and consists of two fully working modules that make up the client server components needed for a remote desktop.
