How make a Vb.Net Program for running in VCD/DVD Player..??

[nilesh16782]

hi..
I am a new vb.net programmer and want to develop a simple application which can execute (run) on Television through VCD/DVD player....??

[kulrom^]

DVD players usually deal with multimedia contents like movies and such. How do you imagine to watch an executable? Or maybe i've misunderstood your idea? Please explain further!

this is completely impossible with VB.net.

if you want your app to work on your TV you will need to display your computer on the TV and run the app in windows.

Games are run on tv through dvd/vcd..
So like game programming.. Can i develop a simple small Programe in VB.NET..?

no you can't i think you will need to do C++ programming

What your trying to do is impossible to the common man. A tv only displays images it has no "brain" to convert an exe to something you can display on screen. Example, Microsoft created the XBox which is its own computer. It reads cd/dvds and converts it to Audio and Video. The actual game play is done by the console not the tv. So you would need to develop your own game console to display contents of an exe the you have created.

Here for your convince: XNA (Only for XBox 360 Owners!)

is c++ a stronger programming than VB.Net?

[keystone_paul]

C++ allows you to do things that you can't do in managed code (ie VB.Net and C#) so on that basis you could say its a stronger language than VB.Net.

The flipside is that its much more complicated to develop code in C++

That said I don't see any reason that you should use C++ for creating a simple game that will run on a DVD. Sounds to me much more like multimedia programming than something you'd use C++ for.

A quick google suggests that there are specialist tools. Take a look at this thread.
