Newbie: help with Terminal services server

[steve]

Hi,

I am a taking a intro to software engineering course and the teacher asked
us the following for a project: develop a client-server app that has similar
functionality with Mstsc (microsoft remote terminal service).

I have all the details but before doing anything *i don't know how to
start*.

I have a little bit of experience with C++ (not with sockets!!!...) but he
insists on it being done in VB.Net, along with justifications for our
choices.

Could you give me some guidance and or links that would get me started?

Is the VB.Net API really suitable for something like that ?

I'm lost ...

Thanx in advance for all help

You have a hard road ahead of you. I think that this is a difficult one for
you as a first timer. However, its not impossible. You need to search the
MSDN site for Terminal Server API.
and read up all the references to it.

You can call this API from within VB.NET.


Good Luck.

HI Terry,

Not using the Terminal Server. Make a Terminal server I readed.

Hmm, not really sure what he was trying to do, I have dealt with the
Terminal Server before and its a B*%CH to get good information especially
regarding dealing with session resources.

Hi OHM,

It readed it as that his professor told that he had to make an application
with the same functionality as the terminal server, and was waiting on your
well knowed message on this kind of messages, however I forgot the in
my message.

If you really want to impress you're teach make it available on a bootable
CD (ala http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/). We've used this with a couple of people
that are bootable Linux people and say that it can't be done with Windows.

Happy coding with your project.

Don't know exactly what you want, but the mstscax.dll is a redistributable
file provided my Microsoft, which is the ACTUAL code for Terminal Services.
mstsc.exe is only a wrapper. You could include this reference in your app,
and use genuine RDP.

Medamonmon:

I'm a developer trying to do a custom terminal server client, (Seamless
windows), like New Moon do, but when i developing with the ocx, some times a
black screen appear, and is so slow, but when i use the mstsc.exe everything
is ok, so i try to refer the mstscax.dll in my vb proyect, but i don't know
hot to do this...

Some one can help me?
