First, look how RDP service works. You can use it to launch some applications on the machine acting as a server. I'm not saying that you should use RDP. I'm just saying that to be able to run applications on the server on request of client, you apparently need to create a Windows Service...

Yeah, that code is not starting the process on the remote machine. It's starting the process on whatever machine this code is running on. The Process class, IIRC, will not launch a process on a remote machine. WMI would be better suited to this and you can launch NON-INTERACTIVE remote...

There are two issues here:1) First you need to check if your laptop has "Wake on LAN". If so, then enable it and make sure it is working locally.2) After that, you will probably need to configure your router to allow the internet connection to be passed through. This may help - I've not...

Not a C++ question...Right, that is by design.Remote Desktop blanks out the screen of the computer being controlled.You can use a third party product like LogMeIn to take control without the client screen getting blanked out.

Hi guys I have a store with many surveillance cameras and i want to be able to view them through the internet from my home, I am a junior software engineer and i would like to build that software myself so where should i start and what technologies do i need?
9 Feb 2013 by Richard MacCutchan
The first thing you need to do is find out how to access the device(s) that captures the camera data. Most modern CCTV systems will have some sort of network or USB connection that allows you to access the camera feeds, but you will need the user guides from the manufacturers.
