How are you planning on deploying the .exe?

You can't screen capture if you don't have the remote computer already set up.

hi thanks for reply ,
i have two pcs connected in lan one having win server 2003 and another having win7 ultimate and i am able to capture screen by a running application on client pc and i am now wanting to send that captured image to the server application's picturebox .

thanks again for replying... :thumb:
:confused:

Okay that is a slightly different situation, effectively the picture is already taken with a piece of 3rd party software and you need to access the remote picture file and displaying it within a picturebox?

What sort of share have you got set up on the LAN?

hey OG sorry
but i didn,t understood what you are trying to say by "sort of share"

Well from what you've said you personally have a LAN with a Server 2003 and a Win 7 Ultimate. You also have a client PC which I'm guessing is a remote computer outside of your LAN?

His talking about the network shares on the remote machine.

You could possible access the "captured images" via the windows default administrative shares.
The default administrative shares for a windows machine, without any external HDD's attached, are as followed:

"admin&" Displays the windows directory on a local/remote machine
"c&" Displays the full contents of the c partition, normally known as the installation partition. (Unless otherwise changed to something else.)
"ipc&" Used to facilitate communication between processes and computers over SMB

To list all the administrative shares on a machine use the following command within a command prompt.
"Net Share"

This will list all shares.

(Note. To access the administrative shares on a remote system you need to have administrative rights to that machine)

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY
but how can i use these commands for my purpose in vb.net code
please if you can give me some code that how do i do that ?:confused:

thanks in advance..:thumb:

Before I can help I need to know where you're planning on grabbing the images from?

How you're taking the screenshots?

Are you doing it on demand or on a timed loop?

Can you install the .exe on the remote machine?

Try this source code i have quickly put together. Run it on the machine you want to capture images from.

To access the images from another machine on the network, simply press "Windows Key + R"
and in the "Run" window type "\\MachineNameHere\CapturedImages".
You may or may not need login credentials
