Kind of remote desktop funktionality?

[Thomas Steinmaurer]

Hello,

on a machine a Win CE application shall visualize measurement values on
an embedded device. Now, an employee in the central office would like to
get these measurement values for a particular machine visualized the
same way. I wonder what techniques could someone recommend for that.

E.g. is there some kind of remote desktop funktionality available or
sending raw data from the machine to the central office and have the
visualization logic running in the central office ...

Any input would be much appreciated.


Thanks,
Thomas

Probably the simplest mechanism would be to run a web server on the CE
device and provide the measurement info as a web page.

You could use SQL Server somewhere in the central network and dump the
current data, or the historical data, into data tables which any authorized
machine on the network could grab and display any way you want.

If you just want to view the screen of the Windows CE device, I suppose that
the CE Remote Display sample that you can build into your device using
Platform Builder would do the trick. It's not secure or particularly fast,
but it will show what is on the screen of the Windows CE device to the
program running on another machine somewhere on the network
