Hi Everyone,

I am trying to develop an application like teamviewer or log me in using C#. I dont know where to start.

I have read a bit that using latest WCF its possible. Even .NET Remoting provide some solution for that.

Can anyone help me with this like where should I start and how should I proceed.

Thanks

Why? when there is perfectly good solutions already, just use them.

People who break barriers and push boundaries in technology usually don't get stuck on the first step.

You are right about communication possibilities. I would also consider sockets at the level of System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener/TcpClient; and this option would come before remoting and WCF.

Where to start? I would recommend to start with inception phase, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Process[^]. :-)

In your case, the initial focus of inception phase should be made on technological prototypes which will give you further ideas on the general R&D plan.

If you still cannot get and idea where to start, consider hiring a software architect and/or team leader, presumably well familiar with related fields. I'm serious. Bear in mind, the work is pretty big.

[EDIT]
Please see the comment to the question by Mehdi — I'm completely agree!
