Hi People,
I have a bit of a problem on my hands and wondered if anyone here has
done anything similar!
I have a VB6 application that displays an image stored locally (all
easy stuff so far). However I want to store images from all offices
across the country in a central location and then if someone from one
office goes into another I want to call a web service to get their
photo from the central photo store, download it to the local office
and display it as I do the locally held images. More than that I then
want to have a second monitor that will also displays the image.
The main VB6 app cannot be re-written to .net
The second monitor display will have to be .net as (as far as I know)
VB6 has not way of controlling which screen a form is displayed on.
I cannot use the file system or map a drive from sub office to head
office
So this is how I see it happening:
VB6 Main app call a .net web service to get the image return it as an
adodb stream or byte array?
Create a .net dll to display the image on the second monitor that the
main vb6 app can pass the image to (not sure if or how that can be
done yet)
Does anyone know if this is possible or a better way to do it?
Many Thanks
Fred
