Screen sharing over internet using c#

Monir Mia

Anyone has any info how can I share my screen over internet. I am working in a remote desktop application.

I dont want to use any router port forwarding as that will not work for my application.

I use this code and its working nice if I am inside NAT / LAN. But how do I make it working over internet ?

From some research, I found that I possibly will have to have a server in the middle.

Customer PC (session code a1) <---->Server (a1) <----> Engineer PC (Session a1)

But how do I do that using c#.net ?

Hi, capturing jpg will only show desktop. But how do u control that PC? I am looking for something like in the link that I put in original post where you can fully control another computer. Thanks for your reply.

Hi, Basically you want to take screenshots and you can transmit those screenshots and display them on the other side. As far as compression goes in C#, you can simply use JpegBitmapEncoder to create your screenshots with Jpeg compression with the quality that you want.

Please refer this link for more details :

Also, you can use stream of JPG images over HTTP protocol which is commonly used for many multimedia applications specially in digital cameras (IP cameras) using static.public ip addresses.
