Hi All,
I decided to develop an news ticker that will be running on live tv program.Pulling the data from a database,or through web services, and simply showing the content within a scrolling band .There is one thing I could not figure it out.That is what would be a technology or language to create this scrolling band.
I will be so glad if you one of you give me a clue or just suggest to read some docs ?

Did you solve this idea?
If yes please share the solutions with me since I am started working with the same thing .

// Function being called from thread to display the Promo in the Window Form
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
public void Start_Ticker()
{
while (GlobalVars_LCD.g_Ticker_thread_flag == true)
{
char[] l_chars = lbl_Ticker.Text.ToCharArray();
char[] newchar = new char[l_chars.Length];
int l = l_chars.Length;
int k = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < l_chars.Length; j++)
{
if (j + 1 < l_chars.Length)
{
newchar[j] = l_chars[j + 1];
}
else
{
newchar[l - 1] = l_chars[k];
}
}
MethodInvoker playaction1 = delegate { lbl_Ticker.Text = new string(newchar); };
lbl_TextPromo.BeginInvoke(playaction1);
//lbl_TextPromo.Text = new string(newchar);
//Thread.Sleep(50);


// For Text Promo

char[] l_chars1 = lbl_TextPromo.Text.ToCharArray();
char[] newchar1 = new char[l_chars1.Length];
int l1 = l_chars1.Length;
int k1 = 0;
for (int j1 = 0; j1 < l_chars1.Length; j1++)
{
if (j1 + 1 < l_chars1.Length)
{
newchar1[j1] = l_chars1[j1 + 1];
}
else
{
newchar1[l1 - 1] = l_chars1[k1];
}
}
MethodInvoker playaction2 = delegate { lbl_TextPromo.Text = new string(newchar1); };
lbl_TextPromo.BeginInvoke(playaction2);
//lbl_TextPromo.Text = new string(newchar);
Thread.Sleep(100);

}
}

thanks for help.
but it's possible to integrate this on TV for brodcast?
In order to put TV in this solution , you need to add one more VGA/HDMI/PS2 port so that you can add TV on it as a secondary screen.
