Any development on a VNC Repeater in C#?

[cheesekun]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for any development work done on a Ultra VNC Repeater in C# . Most of the work is currently done with C++.

If there is no development work in this area in C# I would like to connect with like minded persons and get the ball rolling.

I think that getting a C# Repeater will help Ultra VNC become more adaptable in todays Windows Development segment. With the development and proliferation of the Mono framework the hard work done on the C# front can be compiled and run on Linux distros.

Thanks,

Jeremy.

Personally I wish the work would be done on Karls Perl repeater but that's just me.
It's just so cheap to get a Linux VPS with plenty of bandwidth to run a Perl repeater.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to any development on the age old repeater no matter what the language!

Well written C# can be run wherever Mono can be run.

It can also interact with databases and webservices quite easily.

I forgot about the Mono project, good call.

Hmm, the Perl version's only about 700-800 lines of code, so I'd guess it shouldn't be that hard to go from C++ to C# if you wanted...

(Mono's still got a pretty bad reputation unfortunately, so I"m not sure that's a real selling point.) Perl seems a lot more safe and platform neutral to me.

That said, if you do a C# port, please share!

As far as I know the person to get in touch with is Rudi De Vos, the main UltraVNC developer who is currently finalizing the 2.x version of the repeater.

So far I have the server able to respond to Ultra VNC clients and obtain their repeater ID number. Which doesnt seem like much but I've never done any socket/tcp work before.

Now onto the VNC client connection. Then the packet forwarding.

Finally I rewrote a simple VNC C# repeater
